DAVIDSON / POPE
In 1836, Valentine Pope, Simeon Pope, Lemuel Pope, Micajah Pope and
Daniel Davidson all entered land in the same section in Fayette County.
This was section 27. Valentine Pope was married to Elizabeth Davidson.
What is the connection between the Daniel Davidson who bought land next
to Valentine and his brothers and Elizabeth Davidson? Any help unraveling
this mystery would be appreciated. I am having a very difficult time determining
the parents of Elizabeth.

KILGORE
I am searching for obituary or death notice for information
on my grandfather's, Charles H. Kilgore, death, November 25,1934. I
don't know that he lived in Fayette County, Sefton Township, Illinois,
but from vague childhood memories, it seems he was killed in an (early)
automobile accident. I've had a great deal of difficulty finding any information
on this gentlemen, my
father (of Iowa) never spoke of him, so he may have had a "reputation",
and since he preceeded my birth by some 14 years, and most of my father's
family has passed away, any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you in advance for any assistance. Patricia Kilgore Sorensen
