Migration from Pennsylvania to Illinois
My research and family records seem to indicate a large migration of people from the Perry, Juniata and Dauphin Counties to the Peoria County, Illinois area in the mid 1840's. Can anyone suggest a specific reason for this? Peoria County histories also mention many early settlers were from this area, specifically Juniata County.
