John went on to IL.
One of the children John C. McQuown was in Co.1 86th ILL
He was born Oct 11 1824 d Mar 15, 1902
His wife was Mary Jane Simpson was born Feb 16th 1824 and died May 28th 1899.
Other children of their's were:
Bellvina, died at age 9 in 1874
William R., died at a 1y4m in 1852
Also buried at the same place, but not listing the parents names:
Martha A. died at age 21 in 1860
Samuel in 1876 at age 49
Sarah Ann mother 1833- 1911
and her son Harrison 1873 - 1951
This source is from a Cemetery Book from Smithville Cemetery in Peoria Co. IL.
I then looked at the 1880 Census of Logan Township, which is just down the road about 5 miles and it lists John C. and his wife Mary J.
John C. age 55 born in IN father bVA and mother bVA
Mary J. a 56 bKY fbVA mbVA
with two other children not buried with them
a Mary L age 19
and Cerila age 12
Then I did a search in the LDS on line and found John C. listed as the son of John Reyburn McQuown and Harriet Duff.
Hope this helps a McQuown researcher.
