HELP!!! --- The History of Ogle County, Illinois, 1878, has what MUST be a TYPO!!! I'm entering profiles for the family of John Hayes from p. 646, and find that John is listed as being born July 2, 1851, while his first wife is listed as born NOV 2, 1824, while his first three children were born before he was, and the next three are born before he's 5 years old!!! Can anyone help me with an accurate birth date???
