Mary,
There is almost a full page about his life so I will mention some high lights.
Born:Feb 16, 1843 in Carrollton, Greene Co., Ill.
Military:Co G of the 61st Ill Inf for three years.
Occupation:Merchant - general merchandising business in Harvel (He erected the third store).
Married: in Carrollton, Greene Co., Ill on Sept 7, 1849 to Miss Mary Jane Swires, who was born in New Jersey on Feb 7, 1849."By this union they had seven children, viz, Alice, Freddie, Frankie, Bertie, Roy, Flora, and Nellie." It has Mary Jane's parents as James and Elizabeth (Lisles) Swires, natives of England, both alive (as of 1882).
Andrew Jackson's parents as Spencer and Mary (Stone) Thomason, natives of North Carolina and emigrated to Greene Co in 1830.Spencer was a farmer died in 1847 and Mary died in 1861.
Does this help you any.The rest seems to be about his business and all of the things he belonged to.
