According to this - http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/serv_sta.html - most Illinois counties didn't start recording births until 1877.  The Sangamon County Clerk's office says that it only has birth records since 1877.  http://www.sangamoncountyclerk.com/Vital-Records/Birth-Records/Default.aspx

There are many US census records available for free at www.familysearch.org. 

What is the earliest sighting you have of these folks?
