Histories and Biographies of Livingston County Illinois

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES

Appearing in “Portrait and Biographical Album of Livingston County, IL” 1888

“History of Livingston County Illinois” 1878 by townships and

“Livingston County Business Directory 1898”

This is an attempt to make an index for these three books which have a wealth of information. 

This information was gleamed from the biographical sketches, so please be aware that it could be inaccurate, either in the bio or in my transcription, always verify.  I have found several occasions where I questioned the birth dates.  It was sometimes hard to know which Township they were in, so check them all. You might find your ancestor under more than one, they did move around a lot. Click the township to see what biographical sketches are available. You will have to be patient if you request a bio, it may take me a while to get it typed for you.
