Who are these Runyons? 
Hi Lacinda,
Thank you very much for writing.
Unfortunately, I do not have this Jane Runyon in my files - nor do I have anyone named Geer or Walburn. I do have family who moved to the 2 IL counties you mention but they moved there from Virginia.
I am familiar with the John W. Runyon, etc that you mention but they are not my branch of the clan. I even purchased a copy of the will you mention because my great-grandfather was John W. Runyon (born in Champaign Co.) and his father was John Runyon, III. However, the people in the will turned out not to be my people. I found out, the hard way, that there was a group of Runyons who lived, primarily, in Rush & Union Townships, Champaign Co. while my family lived exclusively in Mad River Township.
I am referring you to Tom Runyan & Ira Runyan. I am pretty sure that they have information on your people.
Happy hunting!
Norman

Hello!
Do you know anything about a Jane Runyon who married a William Geer. She first was married to a Walburn and they lived in Champaign County, Oh before moving to Mclean County Illinois and Then to Dewitt County, Illinois.
I found this partial history do you know any of these people?
Record Book 28, Page 330- Filed 6 October 1859- Petition

John Runyon, deceased, late of Champaign County, left a will, and a copy was located in the suit. Heirs were: Catharine Runyon, widow (died 27 August 1858); Susannah Runyon, wife of John Ellsworth; Malinda Runyon, wife of Otis Milledge of Iowa; grandchildren, Sabra Hall; Catharine Hall, wife of Booker R.
