John&Celestia(Kish)Wilber md1858Kank,IL
I'm looking for descendants of my gr-gr-grandmother's sister Celestia (Kish) Wilber. Celestia married John Wilber on 25 July 1858 in Kankakee, IL. Celestia was born in Canada ca. 1842, dau. of George and Mary (Lawson) Kish. Mary was born in Ireland, George born in Canada, and they had married in St. Lawrence Co., NY and both died in Decatur, IL.
Celestia was still living in Kankakee at time of her mother Mary's death in 1906. Celestia had several brothers and sisters, but only one brother (William Wallace Kish) and one sister (Diantha Kish Loy--my ancestor) had children who survived into adulthood. Thus far, my Diantha's descendants are the only ones I've been able to trace.
