I am researching the family of James P. Richards found in the 1880 census of Macon Co. IL. I am descended from his son Charles 1860-1931. I learned today that James wife was named Lizzie (maiden name unknown). She of course was deceased by 1880. James served in Co. D, 26th IL infantry during the Civil War. He was living in Sangamon Co. when he enlisted, but I have never found any sign of the family there. This family migrated to Madison Co., Indiana by the 20th century.
Did Lizzie die in Macon Co.? I wonder if James had siblings or parents in Macon Co.?

Thanks,
Roger Lester
