Taz. County, Ill. 1850 census
Jane A. Cress (bn: abt.1815?) m: Tilman Kemper (unkn date/place.) By 1850 this family found on Taz. County, Ill. census (could Jane A. Cress/Kemper be related to Henry Cress on same census?) One daughter of this Cress/Kemper union is Catherine Jane (bn: abt 1847, died: May 11, 1924 Macon County, Ill) and is my g grandmother.Catherine Jane m: Robert Knowles (Knowls) in Taz. County, Ill. on 11 March 1866 then moved to macon county, Ill. where they finished their lives. My family history thru stories have always linked our Cress family to the Augusta, Virginia area.I have not done research to verify this as fact. I would appreciate info re: Jane A. Cress sibs and parents if you know.
