The Homer Historical Society is preparing a two volume history of the town for 2005 and one Nancy Stewart Insley is a large part of that history. We have located a great amount of information on Nancy through the Urbana Archives and in the records of the Champaign County Circuit Court. We are willing to share this information if anyone in this line needs this. This concerns the lengthy divorce of Nancy from John Insley filed in 1863. Nancy then was swindled out of her settlement in the failure of the Homer Bank in January, 1878. The Insley line is well known in Homer, Nancy's daughter Jane married Moses C. Thomas and we have her handwritten manuscript in the Homer Historical Society Museum about the history of Homer.
WE ARE DESPERATE TO LOCATE A PHOTOGRAPH OF NANCY INSLEY. Nancy is named Margaret Nancy Stewart Insley. We are typing and imaging all the court records now of this case and will begin contacting any relatives in an effort to find any photos or documentation. If you can help us email me at [email protected] or Molly Shoaf at [email protected]
