Thank you for your excellent advice. I have come to the conclusion that Google is my best friend. If there is an answer, Google will have it. I will contact the Vermillion County Historical Society because I know they have a lot of information on my Illinois families. I haven't yet subscribed to Ancestry.com because of lack of free time, but I will do so soon. Yes, Angeline was not the first wife of Bolivar Bishop. In fact, she was his third wife. Your estimate of Bolivar's birth date was very close because according to one record that I have, Bolivar was born on September 20, 1827, and died June 10, 1902. Finally, I agree that Angeline's husband was most certainly Isaac N. Adams. Norma
