Hi All,
I seem to have hit a small brick fence (I hesitate to call it a WALL,
yet) on my husband's gr-gr-grandfather, Joseph Hudson.
The earliest we can locate the family in Adams County is in the 1870
census. Previous to that, they were in Ohio. Ohio is where all their
children were born, so they were there for at least 10 years. That is
where it gets sticky....we can't find them in the 1860 Ohio census.
Joseph was born in Va., his wife, Barbara, was born in Ohio. This we
got from the 1870 Adams Co. census. We haven't been able to find where
they were married, so we aren't sure if this was a first marriage or
not.
In the 1880 Adams Co. census, Joseph is not found, but Barbara is listed
with their son, Thomas. We don't find a record of Joseph's death. Where
did he go?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find out where Joseph went
between 1870 & 1880, or how to find out where in Ohio they were located?
Thanks for taking time to read this rather long & disjointed note. I'd
appreciate any hints or helps.
