Al and others: Just to keep the record straight. George Mellor, born c1817 in Yorkshire, England was the son of Joseph Mellor and Rebecca Unknown. We know very little about Joseph & Rebecca except they had several children, at least the ones we know, born in Yorkshire in the early 1800s. George was born and baptized in Yorkshire and married Alice Jackson, daughter of John Jackson in 1838. In 1855 George and Alice emigrated to Jacksonville, Il with or preceded by Robert Jackson, nephew of Alice. My great grandfather, William Mellor was born to George and Alice in 1836 in Newton, Cheshire, England two years before they were married. William emigrated with his parents in 1855. In 1860 William married my great grandmother Adeline Thompson. Among their several children was another George and my grandfather, John Mellor. I have considerable information and more details on this family, if anyone is interested, and am willing to share-Dale Mueller
