Subject: Brethren migration to Illinois
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 23:10:53 EDT


I have information that some of my Brethren ancestors, John Fridley and his
wife , Nancy, along with several of John's siblings and their spouses,
migrated to Ogle County, IL in the early 1800's from Pa. and Md. The surname
in Pa. was spelled Friedly. I don't know why the change in spelling. I was
wondering if their is any record of the Fridleys or Friedlys in Illinois at
this time or of any children, such as a David Fridley and Andrew Fridley,
twin brothers and a sister, Elizabeth. Also, any information on the Brethren
migration to Illinois would be appreciated. Are any books available on this
subject? Thankyou.
