I am looking to connect with my Magby family line. My 3 gr grandmother was Catherine. And, although three names have been suggested as her possible last name, the most likely name is Magby. I would like to confirm this one way or another.

This is the information that I do have is as follows:
Catherine, (aka Katherine, Cate, or Kate) was born about1824 in Indiana, possibly Fort Wayne. She died 10 Oct 1894 in IL. Catherine married William Franklin Dodge. He was b. about 1819 in Pennsylvania; d. 11 Nov 1894.

William and Catherine/Katherine are located in the 1850 and 1860 census records. In 1850 they are in Whiteside, IL. Two lines above where they are listed in 1850 is a listing for a Lydia Magby, age 27, Sarah Magby age 4, Eben Dodge, age 20, Henrietta Dodge age 11, Eli Dodge age 12 and Rhoda Dodge age 2. There appears to be some relation to my William Dodge/ Catherine Magby line but have not made the connection.

The 1960 census shows William and Catherine in Mount Pleasant, Whiteside, IL. Lydia Magby is also listed in Mount Pleasant.

Children of William and Catherine:
Columbus 1844-1883
Elizebeth 1845-
J.M. or James Manning 1848-1885
Pardon M. (Pardon McCumber) 1850-1922
Ellen E. per 1860 census (my records show Elwin Ersdale 1853-?)
Sarah Dema aka Sarah Jo Dema 1855-?
Althea Alicia aka Adelia Alicia 1860-1934
Willie (William) Lincoln 1866-?

All the children were born in Lyndon, Whiteside Co., IL.

I am interested in finding Catherine’s parents and/or siblings. Also, I have no ancestral information on William F. Dodge, aka William Franklin, W.F.
Thanks
Diane
