In 1850 Clement JOHNSON, bro Thomas, and several other kin moved to Williamson County from Wilson Co, TN. By the 1860 census they had all returned to TN. What happened to move them to your county (cheap land?) - and what made them all leave (bad weather?).

My Grandfather and Grandmother are buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Greenfield Illinois.
My Grandpa was Robert R. Banister and Grandma was Sarah Cannedy Banister.

My question is I am trying to locate the pall barers of my Grandfather: their names were Albert Meng, Bob Middleton, Charlie Burroughs, Mr. Stringer, J.D. Roth. I would like to know more about these gentlemen and if any of the family is still alive I would like to know if they knew anything about my grandfather, stories etc...
any help deeply appreciated.
