Research Notes

Some research has been done as of late that lead some question on the existence of Sylvester, but we have pretty much confirmed that Hiram, although not mentioned in the guardianship paper, did survive and live on - moving with family to La Salle county, Illinois

An Abraham Schoonover mentioned as well as John and Henry as a taxpayer in 1825 - our Abraham would have been 4

Will add the letters from Mary Deeds to brother
