Oliver C. Vanlandingham moved from Muhlenberg Co., Kentucky, to Gallatin Co., IL, as did my ancestor William Roark. A brief history of the Vanlandingham family in Paradise, Muhlenberg Co., KY, as well as moves to Gallatin Co. and Louisiana can be found here.

This site has a reference to W & C Fellows & Co. of Louisville, Kentucky, and mentions William Fellows, Cornelius Fellows and Benjamin J. Adams. "A-655: 24 May 1847, Limce (Linico?) A.G. Noel of Crittenden Co. is indebted to W.& C. Fellows & Co. of Louisville...".

The Filson Historical Society of Louisville, KY, also has a reference to W & C Fellows & Co. here.
