As discussed by email, I noted a family in the 1850 US Federal Census when I was looking for somebody else. The problem was that this family had been recorded as GLEASON.
The person that caught my eye was Richard Gleason, aged 14, born in England, as were his parents John and Ellen.
Some big leaps coming here ;D
I went back to my births database and noted that a Richard GLASSON was baptised at Camborne on 11/3/1837 to John and Eliza GLASSON.
From my marriage databse I found John GLASSON and Eliza SKEWES married in Camborne on 20/7/1836.
I have this couple in my family history programme, and I have John as the son of Richard GLASSON and Margaret ROWE. I checked on some of the public family trees and they all seem to have John as the son of Charles GLASSON and Joanna WILLIAMS, but I think they are guilty of copying one another without proof - perhaps
So back to Illinois, Jo Daviess, Vinegar Hill in 1850. John and Ellen (not Eliza) aged 36 and 34 respectively, Richard aged 14 and then the next child born in Illinois - Benjamin aged 7. Also younger children John, James and Elizabeth.
Two important points here - Richard GLASSON and Margaret ROWE also had a son Benjamin. Second there is somebody else staying at this house in 1850 - H. SKEWOUS - aged 20, male, born in England.
What do you think?
