Ron and others,
Do you have any idea this census below that Henry who was living with her
daughter Lydia aged 90 about 1850. But I don't have a full informative
census.
< 1940 Ward 3, North Platte, North Platte Election Precinct, Lincoln,
Nebraska, United States
Charles A Wills, Head, M, W, 62, Md, West Virginia (1878)
Lida Wills, Wife, F, W, 60, Md, Nebraska (1880)
Pearl Wills, Daughter, F, 12, Idaho (1928)
Henry Colby, Father-in-law, M, W, 90, Indiana, Md (1850) >
Did he make up on his age or what else?
Md mean married, is that fact?
Or enumerator wrote sloppy which one is Md or Wd (Widow?
I presumed that they don't get divorced, yet, isn't that correct?

Not having a Y chromosome, I did the autosomal for Ancestry, the mitochondrial for Family Tree and did 23 and Me. Ancestry has found at least 20 distant cousins, showing my line and the other person’s line, going back to our common ancestors - some of whom are Colbys.

Dear Family Tree MakerTM community,
Ancestry is proud to have made a significant investment this year to bring
valuable new content and records to the Ancestry site. In 2015, we've made
220 million searchable historical records from Mexico available, more than
170 million pages from the largest collection of U.S. will and probate

2015.
We will continue to support existing Family Tree Maker owners at least
