I'm looking for information about George & Ruth Kuhns both born in PA and relocated to IL where there children, Weaver, Temperance, Hannah, and Sarah were born.

This is the only information I have about my GGGgrandparents:

Germany       d: Oct 11, 1894 in Fairbury, Jefferson Co., NE       m: Jan 01, 1852 in Quincy, Adams Co., ILL.              Military Enlistment:: Aug 09, 1862 Beverly, Adams Co., ILL.       Military service 1: Aug 09, 1862 Whittaker, Nicholas-Beverly, Adams Co, ILL.- MO June 7, 1865       Military service: Bet. Sep 01, 1862 - Jun 07, 1865 Pvt. in the Civil War-78th ILL. Infantry, Company E; Allegience: Union       Military service 2: May 01, 1865 According to the 1890 U. S. Census Veterans Schedules of Endicott, Nebr., Nicholas was discharged by order of the war dept on May 1, 1865.

..       2        Mary Kuhns              b: 1844 in ILL.       d: Unknown

I found them on the 1850 U. S. Federal Census: Burton, Adams Co., ILL., Burton Twp, Adams Co., ILL., Pg 25, Enumerated on Oct. 2, 1850. Lines 7-12

I found Weaver Koon on the 1860 U.S. Federal Census: Hazelett PO, Edgington Twp, Rock Island Co., IL; Pg 84, 6/16/1860, Lines 38-40, Listed as Weaver Koon.

I'm trying to find George and Ruth Kuhns with daughters Hannah and Mary in 1860. Also trying to find their daughter, Temperance and her husband (my GGgrandparents)John "Nicholas" Whittekiend (many spellings for this name also)in 1860. Temperance and Nicholas Whittekiend relocated to Fairbury, Neb. sometime after the enumerations of the 1880 census.

Thanks for any information you can share,
Carolyn
