Hi, Jim,
I see James Monroe Biswell's marriage in the Illinois state marriage data
base at http://www.sos.state.il.us/GenealogyMWeb/marrsrch.html I just
inserted Biswell in the statewide groom data base. You could try to call up
William Brown the same way - I skimmed the first 500 but I don't know his
middle initial. You'll also have to call up Wm and Willis Brown. Then for
fun, you could try Biswell statewide brides.

If you still don't find anything, the Washington County marriages are not in
the data base, you could check there. I assume you already checked in AR
and MO.

We do have a few other Biswell hits on http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilclint2/
"Search our sight for your Clinton County Ancestors surname" if you haven't
seen those.

Can't think of anything else right now to help you.

Dorothy

> I am looking for information on the James Monroe Biswell family that lived
in the Monroe, Clinton Co., Area He married a Susan Jones on May 21,1856 In
Monroe Co., ILL. They had 9 children. Their daughter Elizabeth (Lizzie)
Biswell is my great grandmother. I am trying to find information about her
and my grandfather, William (Willis/Bill) Brown. Specifically, when and
where they were married. They had a son Named Archie, who died the end of
March 1899. A son, Elmer James, a daughter, Cora Jane, and my grandfather
William (Willis) McKinley Brown. I have been told by a family member that
Bill Brown died before my grandfather was born in 1895. My grandfather was
born in Pocahontas, Randolph Co., AR.
> Lizzie remarried to a Charles Josephus Middleton on Feb. 15, 1899 in
Ripley Co., MO. They had one son, John Wesley Middleton, born in
Donathan/Doniphan, Ripley co., MO on July 29, 1900. He was my great uncle. I
would appreciate anything on them that I can get. Thanks
