Debbie,
Please disregard my previous post. It was way off. Henry M Annear is my gg-grandfather and he was born in England (1829) and came to America with his family about 1837.
His sister, Laura, was born on the trip over. She did marry Capt. Ishom Harrison. Henry married 1st- Rachel McGinnis and 2nd- Clarinda Whitlatch. I have heard two different stories, but the children were orphaned before Laura was 4 yrs. old (abt. 1840-1841). I am wondering if Cornelius & Jane could also be their brother & sister. Laura was raised at the Silkwood Inn but I can't find anything on Henry before 1852. He and Rachel were married then in Jackson Co., IL. In 1862, he inlisted in the 63rd Illinois Infantry.
Do you have any information on Cornelius or Jane or Amia? Their dates of birth would put them to maybe be siblings of Henry & Laura.
Would love to compare notes.
Carolyn
