I am looking for the Van Dusen family that may have lived in Illinois in the 1840's.

I am looking for the birth and death records for my g-g-g-g grandparents William and Louisa Van Dusen. I show them living in Ohio from about 1827 until until about 1839 and then on to Illinois and Wisconsin. He married Louisa Andrew about 1827. Louisa was born in England about 1810 and was raised in New York. I am not sure if William A was born in New York or Ohio around 1803. I have conflicting information. They had 7 children.
1. William R. born May 25 1828 in Crawford or Knox
2. Louisa born July 6 1833 in Crawford or Knox County
3. Albert (my g-g-g-grandfather born in Crawford or Knox on May 22, 1837.
4. Ashley born 1839 Illinois
5. Katie born 1841 in Illinois
6. Frank born 1847 in Wisconsin
7. Bessie born 1850 in Wisconsin?.

I think William A died around 1863 or 1865 but not sure where. He may be in Ohio or Wisconsin or Illinois. I also have the 1860 census showing a William A in Manhattan New York.


I am not sure if William A was buried in Wisconsin or Illinois. if there is a way to find out where the children were born(Frank and Bessie Katie or Ashley?).

If anyone has any information on this family please email me at .

Thanks
