Notes
a. Note:   ath of Persis' sister Rebecca on about 26 Dec 1864 from a Miss. H. Wilmot. A few days letter he noted receiving a letter from Brother Amos Wilmot. I had assumed that Amos Wilmot must have been Rebecca's husband, but it appears he had instead married Betsey Crawford. In 1860. There is an Amos Wilmot in Sparta, Knox Co. IL with wife Betsey with daughter Hannah Wilmot, age 26, a teacher. Several Ancestry databases have Broome Co. Wilmots who ended up in Illinois.
  Jacobus gave no details on the Amos Wilmot born 3 Mar 1803 who died in 1878 other than these dates.
  Mr. Chapman indicated that Mr. <b>Amos Wilmot</b> is credited with suggesting the name of Sparta for the township at its organization.
  <i>The History of Knox County Illinois</i> by Chapman credits Amos Wilmot for suggesting name "Sparta" for the town.
  From Paula Scott posting at Ancestry Sandhills Scribe database 8/31/2015:
  Amos was born in CT in 1803. As a young man Amos moved to Brown Co, NY and pursued the trade of shoemaker until he married. After marriage, he located on a farm in Steuben Co., NY. In 1836 he and his family moved to Ill where he erected a log cabin, which was the first erected in the township and they were its first citizens.

Mr. Wilmot was born in Connecticut, March 3, 1802, and was one of the first settlers in the township. After a prosperous life of 76 years, and with a hope of a happy immortality, he died at his home Aug. 28, 1878. Source: History of Knox County, Illinois By Chas. C.
