Trying to find burial place of Isaac MANVILLE, b. 17 Mar 1789 in CT, died 27 Apr 1853. Believed to have died in Placerville CA area. Apparently was a restless soul, moving to La Salle county IL in 1839. One source indicates he moved to Mud Springs (now Shingle Springs), El Dorado county, CA in 1849 but he's found listed in 1850 Fed Census living in La Salle county with wife Mary SMITH with a couple of children. Mary was born in ME on 10 Aug 1798 and died in CA on 20 Apr 1882. Sources also indicate Mary and one daughter Amelia joined Isaac in CA at Mud Springs in 1852 while another daughter, Emily, stayed in IL. Third daughter Julia (1831-1897) married Edward CANNON in IL and subsequently moved to Nevada county CA via IA and NV. Isaac's and Mary's other children were Elvira, Eliza, Edward and Susan.
