Bost migration to Montgomery County Illinois
Does anyone know the reason that some members of the Bost family left N. Carolina and settled in Montgomery County, Illinois?In my line of Bosts, five of Jacob Monroe Bost's children moved to Illinois in the 1840's and 1850's. The first evidence of the move is with Martin, who moves there with his wife Hanna Knowles, and has a daughter Emily in 1847 in Montgomery County.Four of his siblings follow soon after.
It is a mystery to me.Thank you, Joan Flanders
