QUERY
******Mariah BERRY married Granville MANSFIELD July 7, 1892 in Wayne
Co., IL
The Wayne County Illinois Reserve
Militia lists a G. D. Mansfield from Barnhill township, he reported Aug
9, 1862 and Jul 21, 1863 ~ this is my Granville's father. Am having
trouble finding Granville and Mariah after they married in 1892.
Note: Granville's parents were Granville David Mansfield and Margaret
Davenport, both born in Kentucky (probably the Logan or Montgomery
County) Granville had a brother Jesse Curtis
Mansfield who was in Wayne County, Illinois in 1870, 1880 and 1900.
Anyone out there know anything about Granville MANSFIELD? He was born about 1862 in Illinois, according to the 1870 census of Barnhill, Wayne County, Illinois.
Mariah BERRY was a midget and I believe Granville MANSFIELD was also a very little man.
Anyone out there know anything about Granville MANSFIELD? He was born about 1862 in Illinois, according to the 1870 census of Barnhill, Wayne County, Illinois.
Thanks.
Roxie Wheeler.
My great-great grandmother is Rebecca Jane (BERRY) DAVIDSON

SURNAMES: McCLURE BROWN CAMPBELL OWEN(S)
SCHROEDER VAUGHN YOCUM
Richard McClure came to Wayne County possibly around 1865 (there
is a "Mac" McClure in the Illinois 1865 census who might be him). According
to my mother he, as well as his father, was from somewhere in ennsylvania;
he was Presbyterian; he studied the ministry at Waynesburg College in Greene
Co., PA, but was never ordained and never preached. He emigrated
at an unknown date to Sangamon, Illinois (he
shows up as a teacher in the 1862-1863 military census for Sangamon
County) where he was a teacher.
Richard is recorded as the Town Clerk of Enterprise in 1866-67 and in 1869 (from the 1894 book, History of Wayne County). My mother says that he was the Superintendent of Wayne County schools at some point.
He married Sarah Jane Campbell, daughter of Moses Campbell of Wayne County. There is a marriage record for a Richard McClure and Sarah Jane Campbell for October of 1861 in Sangamon County. Sarah had an Uncle Joseph Campbell who lived in the township adjoining the one Richard lived in. Sarah's brother, Alexander Anderson Campbell, jr., lived with his Uncle Joseph awhile. Sarah, however, never shows up on the census there.
They had three children: Alice Jeannette born 25 February 1860 (more than a year previous to the marriage record I found) who married Conrad Kern; Ida May who married John Schroeder; and Sarah who married Lafayette Yocum.
After the 1875 death of his wife, Sarah, Richard married in 1876 Delilah "Lynn" Boon, daughter of Jacob Snyder Boon (another brickwall) and Margaret Warsing who were in Wayne County by 1850 from Bedford County, PA.
Richard and Delilah had six children: Jennie Irene who married first Clifford Brown; George Alexander who never married and who is buried in the same Laird Cemetery in Enterprise as his father; Ernest F. who never married; Lafayette who never married; Lucy who married an Owen or Owens; and Mary "Mae" Samantha - the baby of the family born in 1894 and my grandmother- who was brought up by Charles and Mary Towsley in Rinard and who married Berton McDonald Vaughn, son of Newton Vaughn and Huldah Anderson Vaughn, divorced him, and then married Allen Elijah Davis of Flora, Illinois
Only three children remained in the area: Alice Kern, who lived at Cisne, Lucy Owen, who at some time moved to Louisville, and my grandmother, "Mae" who lived in Flora, Illinois.
