Wilber, Dale, and Porter Families of Lawrence Co.,: 1800's NY>Lawrence Co., IL

I need help with a brick wall on this husband and/or wife and who their parent's are, please.

I have a Sarah 'Sally' Dale, b. ca 1810 New York, parents and siblings unknown. Her family apparently migrated from NY state to Illinois by 1829, because on 09/02/1829 she married David Wilber in Lawrence Co., Illinois.

This David Wilber was born ca 1808 in New York -- quite possibly Dutchess County. His parents are unknown, and the only siblings I'm aware of are two of his brothers -- Christopher (b. ca 1795 NY), and Isaac (b. ca 1806 NY). All three brothers left New York and made their homes in Lawrence Co., Illinois (though Christopher and his wife Lucinda Ooley first lived in nearby Indiana for a few years before joining the other brothers and their families in Lawrence Co., IL. Isaac Wilber and his first wife, Jane Porter, made their home in Russellvillle, and after her death, he and the widow Elizabeth Kenton Winkles married and remained on his farm.

Although I have the information on the children and descendants of Sally Dale and David Wilber, I'm stuck there because I cannot find any information of either of their parents to go back from there.

Does anyone have this Sarah 'Sally' Dale in their line and would mind sharing information? I'm happy to share what I have of their descendants.

I am also looking for information on Isaac Wilber's first wife, Jane Porter (b. ca 1815, d. bet 1845-1848 Lawrence Co., IL). It's possible Jane's father was David Porter, but that is not a certainty.

Again, I have a lot of information on the children and descendants of these three brothers and their wifes, but I don't have any parents or siblings info (except for the Ooley siblings). Any help at all is much appreciated.
