Isaac Harrison Fanning b. 1835 IL to TX

I moved from Madison Co., IL, over a year ago.Do have some info on Henry Fanning of Madison/Fayette Cos., IL, from censuses and do have a copy of some of the probate material from Fayette Co, but can't find my info at present time.What relationship if any between your Fannings and mine, don't know.A Frank Fanning of Fort Worth is of your line and had done much research on your line.This is from memory.Hope it is correct.Your Henry Fanning was not in IL in 1818 when IL became a state and a special census was taken.Neither were mine.In 1820 Henry is in Silver Creek Town. (near Highland), while mine were in Goshen Town.(near Edwardsville).Henry apparently was single then.He moved to Fayette Co. in the 1830's and died c1846.Wife died after Henry but before 1850.One of his sons was listed in probate documents as Jacob H.This apparently was the same person that shows up in Morgan Co., IL, as Harrison Fanning in 1860.The wife he married in Fayette Co. died in Morgan Co. and he married again.For years my Fanning researchers couldn't figure out who he was or tie him into our line.Have no idea why Harrison moved to Morgan Co. Even though the two counties are fairly close, it was still a long distance to travel back in the 1850's.I also found another son of Henry's had moved back to Madison Co. where I believe he married and was in the 1850 census with wife and two daughters.Assume he died shortly thereafter, as his wife married again.As to your John Jr and my lines' John Jr., they are not the same person.It appears that most of the very early Fannings were in MD in the later 1600's even if just for a short time.Hope this helps.When I find my info will post it, but will be awhile as have visitors coming in a couple of days.
