Dates would help
My lineageJohn McIlrath b. 1800died and buried in Shebly County, IN (married Rachel who also buried in Shelby county)
They left several childrenone daughter married and took her two sister with her to Iowa (Des Moines area) Maddy, Sutherland were two of the married names.
One son William stayed in Indiana.Robert and James McIlrath moved to Clark County, IL where James and Robert are buried.I know Robert had several children but have not tracked them.If you Robert was in Clark County, IL (or even Shelby County, IN) this might be a match.I found at the Marshal IL Historical society (genealogy) room a photo of a Robert McIlrath's daughters married around 1917There is more information on the family in Marshal, IL.James was born 1822 or so as was Robert (James was my gg grandfather)
Hope this helps a bit
