Ken,
My great grandparents moved to the Altamont IL community where they had
my grandmother . My father knew his Bond Co. relatives, but I had
almost no contact with Bond Co. as a child. We had enough relatives in
Effingham Co to keep us busy! So, much of what I know I've had to
search and read in the Bond Co history/cemetery books purchased from the
Genealogical Society. There is a lot of printed information and this
old brain can't remember it all!! However, I know if I studied all the
Gillespie, Willeford and File families, I would find a few connections
to the Johnsons, Suggs and the Plants.

Am I assuming too much if I think that because Henry File and family
came to IL with these other families (and the Vollentines) that he did
live in the Yellow Creek Valley? He could have lived in another county
and just have been an acquaintance. Seems like I read once that he
wasn't in TN very long. Maybe if I keep reading these books, I'll find
out!!!
