Hello fellow listers - have found my Lewis Smith's parents:
Lewis SMITH b. October 27, 1825 Butler co, OH
Moved with his parents to Grant co, IN in 1828
Parents Thomas SMITH (possibly born Union co, SC) and Mercy 'Massie' STAGGS
b. Mason co, KY married November 06, 1814 Butler co, OH.
Lewis married Elizabeth WEBB August 31, 1848 in Pleasant Twp., Grant co, IN
Elizabeth WEBB b. April 21, 1830 Richmond co, NC
Moved with her parents to Grant co, IN about 1836.
Parents John T. Webb b. NC died January 1843 Grant co, IN and Ruth ???? b. NC
died 1865 Howard co, IN.
Siblings:
Ann b. 1823 NC
Martha b. 1824 NC
Tilman b. 1825 NC
John T. b. 1832 NC
Anderson b. 1834 NC
Robert C. b. 1836 IN
Caroline b. 1837 IN
William M. b. 1840 IN
I am hoping to find siblings of Lewis (other children of Thomas & Mercy
Smith) and also about John T. and Ruth (?) Webb ancestry.
The Smith family were of Quaker ancestry.
Thanks,
Kathy Meyer

I thought our list users may find this interesting and a worthwhile tool. I
am thinking about ordering a set for myself.

> * Race
> * Marital status
> * Occupation
> * Relationship to the head of household
> * State or country of birth
> * Father's state or country of birth
> * Mother's state or country of birth
> * National Archives microfilm number and page
> * Family History Library microfilm number
> Keep in mind that the above items are only a subset of the

>
> * The street name and house number in cities
>
> * Whether or not an individual was married within the year
>
> * The number of months an individual was unemployed during the
> census year
>
> * Whether or not an individual was sick or temporarily disabled
> so as not able to function normally, and if so, the nature of
> the illness
>
> * Whether an individual was blind, deaf, dumb, idiotic, insane,

> * Whether or not an individual attended school within the year

> * Whether or not an individual can read and write

Hi,
I'm researching Andrews, Haynes, Coleman, Mason, Payne, Lewis, Conrey,
Malone, Johnson and others too numerous to mention. My 'brick wall' right
now is Solomon Haynes (b 1804) in NY m Chloe Andrews (b 1807) on 12-23-1824
Washington Co. Solomon was known to have lived in Delaware, Franklin, Grant
and Wayne Co. What I can't find is 'where' in New York he was born. I have
info on all of the above mentioned names and will gladly share.
Thanks, Billie Haynes Padilla, Chino, CA

We are researching Benjamin Berry. He was appointed Sheriff elect 1n 1731 at the starting of Grant
County. Appreciate any help. Gale

I have information on Elizabeth Mauller McClain, Aaron Mauller, & Seth
Mauller. They were all born in PA. They came to Grant Co in the late 1840's
from Perry Co OH & were neighbors in Green twp near the village of Slash
(between Sims & Pt Isabel).
Aaron & Elizabeth's sons, William Mauller & John J. McClain served in the
Civil War with the 101st Indiana Infantry. Could these folks be the Mauler
family you're also researching?
