Thanks for the verification Frances!

Thomas' age must be off, same problem with records in Illinois for Thomas - d 8 May 1849 91y 1d (dates??)

Thomas and Ann also had one other son William Thomas born in Illinois who died 27 Apr 1869 21y 1m 12d

Also daughter Ann d 7 Sep 186? 18y 2m 12d (dates ??) *possibly born in Illinois also

Ann (Cowley) Shimmin w/o Thomas Holland d 12 Apr 1876 64y 6m 6d

Now to figure out who married Catharine, Margaret & William

Note for Colin
Was your Philip Shimmin married to a Eleanor Leece 1st and then to a Catharine Shimmin?
