Since your Bales family lived in Clay County, KY, you may be related to the Aden/Eden
Bales living in Hendricks County, Indiana.
I believe that Aden married Naomi Lambert in Madison Co.,KY in 1804 (Clay County broke off
from Madison county in 1807).
While I haven't found a record of Aden/Eden of Brown County before 1840 or a record of
Aden/Eden of Hendricks County after 1840, I believe they are two different individuals,
because they both appear to be listed in the 1840 Census:
State: Indiana Year: 1840 County: Hendricks Page: 5
Eden Bayles 2 1 - - - 1 - - - 1 - - - - 2 - - 1 - - - - - - - -
(eldest male age 70-79, eldest female age 20-30)
State: Indiana Year: 1840 County: Brown Township: Van Buren Page: 187
Aden/Adam Boles/Bales 2 1 1 - - - - 1 - - - - - 1 - - - 1 - - - - - - - -
(eldest male age 50 to 59, eldest female age 20 to 30)
