Doug -

I just returned from McLean Co. and specifically the Genealogical & Historical Library in Lexington, IL. They use to publish a newsletter called Ancestors: Yours and Mine. In the February 1981 issue (Vol 7, Number 1) there was a piece printed called "Personal Property McLean Co., IL 1867 - Money Creek Twp." There were 169 residents listed; the wealthest --Jesse Trimmer -- valued at $8,437.00 and at the other end of the scale, James Arbogast with $20. Your ancestor, James L. HENDERSON was listed as having personal property valued at $30. I hope this helps.
