Interesting I came across your query. Are you related to Col John Fonda? If so, I think I am too as my mother's middle name was Fonda after a Col. John Fonda, IL regiment in the Civil War. Our daughter has the photo of Col Fonda which has been a family keepsake.
If your posting hasn't expired, I'd be happy to hear from you, your connection, if any, to Col Fonda, and your connection to Illinois.
