Two related questions:
1st, where did Harrison Hutchcraft, Sr. live when the 1850 Illinois Census was taken? I have confirmed that he lived in Wayne Co., IL in 1855 and 1860. I have an index listing for a Harrison Hutchcraft in Wayne Co. for 1840, but I have not gone further than that.
2nd, in part why I am asking the first question is because I am wondering when Mary Ann Rhodes was born. I seem to have conflicting reports. The 1860 Wayne Co. Census suggests abt 1825, but I have a Census Record for Alexander Hutchcraft (1870, White Co.) that lists a Mary Hutchcraft in residence, age 57. Assuming the latter Mary is Mary Ann, that would place her birth at about 1813, which probably coordinates better with the marriage date of 1838.
Thanks,
Ian R. Brown, distant cousin to some Hutchcraft descendents.
