I don't think I ever responded to your kind October 25 email about the Monear family! I had to put everything up for a couple of months. I am working with a 3rd cousin and neither of us have been able to get beyond William Monear born 1808 in Isle of Man, died 10 Oct 1865 in Richmond, Illinois. He married Martha Christain Dec 9, 1827 in Kirk Andrews Church, Andreas, Isle of Man, daughter of Wm Christian and Joaney Clarke. She was born 1810 in Andreas, died unknown.

I am not in touch with the Illinois family of Monears - I would very much like to contact them if you would give me the name(s) of contacts. Perhaps this John McNameer 1768-1841 was the father of our William

I would appreciate any help you could give me. My email: djaustin@cox-internet.com

Thanks - Jeanne
