Hello once again:Wonderful! ! !I didn't know Almon moved to CA.That's why I couldn't find him in IL.Also,I've learned that Almon was a acommon name in those days, particularly in the Shoups.I still do not know who his grandfather was,just his father Jacob.Thank you so much---again.Almon's mother remarried in Fayette Co. ILAs you know, Jacob died quite young,around 1867 as I recall.I think he got out of the Civil War army early because of his health.As I said,thank you very much.So many of the young people went to CA in those days.Just as today:my two daughters live there.Hope to talk to you later via email.Audrey
