Dear List,
Can Someone do a Census Lookup in Boone County, Ind.
I need to check 1870 Census Boone County, Ind. for any Straughn
family or similiar Spelling. Looking for a John M. Straughn and Anna
Straughn with a daughter Lydia A. Straughn who was born 31 Jul 1861
she was born in KY, her father born in KY and mother born in Ohio.
Then find her again on 1880 Census. There maybe two John M. Straughn's.
Also try to find any Family named McCombs in Boone County, Ind. on
1870 or 1880 Census.
I'm trying to find a Lydia A. Straughn who married a ? McCombs then
later married Elmer E. Brockway.
