Does anybody have a clue to which line in Logan this gentleman belongs? He was born in KY., ca. 1805, m. Mary Patterson in Tazewell Co. Il. in 1835. In Logan Co. Il. by 1850. He missed the 1860 census, but Mary and children are there, and is back with the family for the 1870 census.
In 1880, he gives his father's birthplace as VA.
Variously spelled Chater, Chattam, etc.
Chatham has missed all the local histories in Illinois.
Children (all born Logan Co. IL) are Louisa, Chatham, William, Melissa, Laura, Mary, Charles F., Martha J. (married my Wm. H. Reynolds in Logan Co.), George W., Robert, Reuben, and Emma.
Thanks much-
