The railroad went through Danville, IL. in 1864.
Would like to know if anyone has information of this Finger family in Lostant, IL. in the mid 1800's. We have heard the name of John Finger as the man who adopted Johann, (John), Reese. Also we have heard, through the family coming from John Finger himself, that the _____ Finger family, after his adoption did have their own birthright children.
Any help will be appreciated. It is believed that the adopting family, Finger, later moved to Indiana.
Thank you for any help anyone can give.
