From the map on the Hamilton County Website, it appears there are no cemeteries in Lyon Township. Is that correct? I'm looking for burial information on Thomas Branham (born ca. 1814), who moved with several of his children (Peter, James, Minnie, Ida and Rosanna) from McDonough County, Illinois, to Lyon Township, sometime between 1860 and 1870. Rosanna was married to Henry J. Martin.
I think Thomas may have died prior to September 1878.
His son, Peter B. Branham, was still living in Jewell, Lyon Township, as of the 1900 federal census enumeration.
I'm tracing families who have a connection to St. Simon/Lincoln Catholic Cemetery in Hancock County, Illinois.
Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.
