Are You a Descendant of the Pioneers of the 1838 Map?

This is a list of the last generation of the pioneer descendants to die in McLean County. If you are a descendant of one of the people in this list, you are a descendant of one of the pioneers of this map! The underlined headings are links to the stories of those families.

 

Any descendant who left McLean County is not included in this project. The reason for this is that the list would be far too long if descendants from other counties or states were included and because it was not anticipated that people outside McLean County would be interested in this project. If you believe that you are related and your ancestor has been left out of the project, you may contact the website developer on the Contact Us page.

​

If you are seeking additional genealogical information gathered during this project, the family trees of each family is now a part of the archives of the McLean County Museum of History. These trees show the names of the first generation to leave McLean County and their initial destination, but do not follow those descendants any further.
