Hello John.

I don't know if this will help, but my g. grandfather had an aunt named Elizabeth Kneale who lived in Mt. Carroll, Illinois. She was married twice. The
forst husband was a Clark, his name wa Charles Clark who was originally born in
the IOM. He lso lived in Mt. Carroll. Next, Elizabeth married a William Kneale who moved to Mt. Carroll at least as early as the 1840 Ill. census. They had one
daughter, Isabelle Kneale. She later married a Laidig and they had 1 daughter;
however, Isabelle died in childbirth and her daughter died 3 years later.
We believe that Elizabeth was either a Shimmin, or a Lace, before her marriages.
If you see anything that might ring a bell, let me know. I still have not pinpointed how she was a aunt to my g.grandfather. She had a brother, Charles Lace. My g.grandfather was Robert H. Shimmin. Please email me
