I have information posted on site, but notice there are two different birthdates in the various information. Could someone help me decide if the information is two different Daniel Foy's or if it is just inaccurate information on the birth dates? Here is what I have found posted either on this site, or from on-line Gen. Charts: 1880 United States Federal Census > Illinois > Whiteside > Tampico > District 213 Chas. W. Foy, age 32, farmer, b.

Unfortunately, it has perpetuated itself in many on line charts and is also in Bastian's book. ---------- Denise Family History Coordinator Tampico Area Historical Society

He was born in New York and moved to Illinois in the early forties, settling in Nauvoo. He moved to Whiteside county a few years later. He was taken ill last fall with a dropsical disease, gradually growing weaker until the final summons came. He leaves a wife, five sons and four daughters, besides a large circle of friends. He was held in high esteem and filled numerous offices of trust during his lifetime, having been a supervisor from Tampico township for a number of years. The funeral services were held at Tampico, Wednesday afternoon.
