SURNAMES:  BLACK  HICKENBOTTOM  WHEELER

I am researching George C. BLACK, born Wayne Co., IL, c1839.

He is listed in the 1850 Federal Census with Louis/Loris and May/Mary BLACK, and two sisters. They are living next door to the FRANSIER/FRAZIERs, including William.

The 1860 Federal Census has George BLACK in Clay Co., Il, Flora Twnship, living with William and Martha FRAZIER. I have been unable to find his parents at this point.

1861, George married Sarah Jane HICKENBOTTOM. 1862, He joined the Illinois 124th Infantry, Co. K., and they had a son (Lewis Gideon BLACK). March 28, 1865, George died from wounds sustained in the Battle at Spanish
Fort, Mobile, AL.

Sarah Jane remarried in 1871 to Bradley WHEELER; I have much information on them.

I need to find George C. BLACK's final resting place, his parents in 1860 and prior to 1850 (Kentucky?), and his sisters.
