| 579 | James Loftus, realizing that in a new country there were better opportunities, started out afoot to look for land that he wanted. He walked through four states, Virginia, Texas, Illinois, and Missouri, and decided to purchase 640 acres lying on the line between the two states of Illinois and Missouri. He gave each of his four children mentioned 160 acres, establishing Margaret Atwell and Cornelia Loftus Cocke on the Missouri side and the boys George Atwell and Edward Loftus on the Illinois side of the line.
