I have a land patent, dated 1 January 1840, that describes land in Bond County, Illinois purchased by Malachi Iseley.I believe that this was your Malachi's son.I am trying to piece together where I fit into this picture.My 4X great grandmother was Ellen/Nelley Iseley, born about 1813, married on 7 February 1833 to Green Nichols/Nicholas.Green also received a land patent on 1 January 1840 for land very near Malachi's.Was he my 5X-great-grandfather?Green and Nelley/Ellen has their first child in NC - Catherine (1833).The next few were born in Illinois - John (1834), Malachi (1835), James (1838).The rest were born in Jasper County, MO - Green (1842), Mary (1843), George (1846), Sarah Ellen(1850), Lucinda Jane (1850), Perry (1854) and Rebecca (1856).There was a Jacob Iseley very closeto them on the 1850 Jasper County Census, born in NC.Could this be a brother to Ellen/Nelley?
Any help would be appreciated.
