Do you know of Confidence ???

Our sources for Confidence (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Confidence other than they indicate that Confidence would be found somewhere in Madison County, Illinois.
