BOHAN, WOODS posted by Diane Bick & Dan Smith on Saturday, November 1, 1997: John BOHAN (b. 1840?) and Margaret WOODS (b. 1852 ?) farmed in Saline County, Salt Springs Precinct according to the 1880 census. They moved here from Lafayette County (Freedom Township), where they appeared in the 1870 census, with their five children. Both were Catholic, and many of their children, including my great-grandmother were probably born here. I am interested in finding out how to contact the local Catholic Church, and finding out about contacting the county office for birth information. In addition, I think Margaret WOODS, mother, Elizabeth WOODS (b1829 ?-Ireland) may be buried here. Please let me know of any resouces available in the county that I could use and/or contact. Thanks!
