  Additional Comments:
  The following document was purchased at an auction in Carroll Co., IL.  
  Millersville, Illinois could, possibly, be Milledgeville which is in Carroll 
  Co. although there is a Millersville in Christian Co., IL.
  I have no personal connection nor any further information regarding this family.
