I am related to the Xander surname. My g g grandmother Ida Bell Xander. She married Peter Crum in 1884. Her father was John Phillip Xander born May 16, 1833 and death Apr. 27, 1911. They called him J.P.
Anyway, this family lived in Richland Co. IL and IdaBell and Peter Crum are buri4ed at Goss Cem in Richland Co. IL.
You mentioned a John Xander. Could this be my John?
