Your Roy Modlin was the nephew of my g-g-grandmother Henrietta Modlin, son of her brother Royal Child Modlin.Henrietta and Roy were children of Benjamin Modlin and his wife Mary Chase Child Modlin who came to Clay Co. IL around 1850 from Washington or Orange Co. IN.Mary's family was from CT and Benjamin's of Quaker origins in NC.Benjamin and Mary brought 8 of their 9 children to Xenia in Clay Co. where many of them married and raised families.Henrietta married Samuel Kennedy in 1866 and there were several Kennedy/Modlin, Modlin/Songer intermarriages in Clay Co.I have info on 6 of the 9 siblings lines and would be happy to share info.
