Thanks, that's the way I see it, too. Someone has a death date for him earlier, but I don't think it's him. I have looked for his death and can't find it. One of his granddaughters is born in Howell, Missouri in 1890's. Others are just over the border in Arkansas....that's where my grandma was born. Elijah is my ggrandpa, and all the family know is that grandma was Margaret. So I was happy to find a Margaret marring Jefferson, or Thomas Jefferson, as I think he is both.
Found land records for Franklin county Illinois 5-15-1839 Thomas King purchased 40 acres @ $1.25 acre.
Also James Dawson bought land there in 5-22-1819
Also James E Page
Jesse C Page and
Louisa Page land in 1-11-1853 thru 1858
Perhaps some of those tie in as well.
Thanks
