John Limpus and Family

This book explores the lives of John Limpus and some of his descendants, in particular, two sets of five brothers.

The book gives information on their lives and the lives of their children and grandchildren. The second set of five brothers were sons of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Foxwell) Limpus. The family lived in Indiana, Illinois and western Missouri. The book includes information on the lives of these families.
