Cora Estel is my great-great aunt on my paternal side. Her parents are Rhoda Jane DARLING and John MCDONALD. Little is known about her father John, (my 3rd great-grandfather except that he married Rhoda Jane in Gibson County, IL in 1874 and that they later lived in White County, Illinois, where many of their children were raised. He is one of my brick walls.
