Cornelius Halley, Hamilton Co. Illinois
Cornelius married my g-g-g grandmother Nancy J. Guill and my cousin and I have been trying to find out information about her.
We know they married December 30, 1860 in Hamilton County, Illinois, but we do not have any further information about the marriage.Guill is not her maiden name and we are hoping a marriage certificate would show that her maiden name is Clayton (& would be even better if her birth date and place were indicated).
The 1880 census for Hamilton County (P. O. Lovilla) shows Nancy HALLY as a widow (note the name is misspelled).We don't know when Nancy was born or when she died or where she is buried.My cousin believes that Cornelius had a large farm in Hamilton County and that Nancy and Cornelius both might be buried there.
Thanks, Mary
