CORLETT/STALKER

I am looking for info on Thomas H. Stalker b. 1821 IOM and died 1877 Knox Co., Illinois, USA. He married Maria Corlett also born IOM. They had 8 children with only 4 living by 1878 and one of them was named Elizabeth. The records of Knox Co. list Thomas' parents as Thomas Stalker and Maria L. Who is this Maria? I believe they are related to Thomas Stalker who married Catherine Lord, but need more info. Thanks for any info
