Trying to find information about Stephen Wallace WOODBURN's history in Fulton County.  According to his obituary, he came to America from Ireland in 1846, worked for a bit in the Philadelphia linin industry, then made his way west.  He worked in Fulton County from 1848 to 1852 as a farm hand.  He then went to Rock Island County where he worked as a farm hand for the McCall family.  His name appears on the 1860 census in Rock Island County.

Would like to hear from anyone having information about his time in Fulton County.
