I saw a message by Karen Smythe on 14 April 2001 on
boards.ancestry.com with the subject line
Anderson, Bays bible record
"I have bible records of Rufus "Luke" Anderson and Louisa
Combs Anderson. Rufus followed his family here from KY
after Louisa died. He remarried Rachel Bays and her
children are also included in this bible record"
I did not get a copy of this record.
The 1860 census for Greene county lists:
Rufus 47, Rachel 33, Louis J 16 KY, Elizabeth 14 KY, George W 12 KY,Wiley R 9 KY, Alfred
Bays 14 Ark,
Cloey 9 IN, Elizabeth 7 IN. There are ditto marks after
the last two children's names, but I don't know if this
refers to Anderson or Bays. I see it as ambiguous.
The 1870 census for Center, Greene Co. lists
Rufus 57, Rachel 41, George W 21 KY and Wiley R 19 KY
A marginal note in my notebook says that Wiley R died
11/04/1916 (no ref.) I also note from the 1870 census that
George W was blind.
I am really interested in Rachel who by family legend lived
until 1937 in Nebraska. I have a picture with the handwriting
of a grandson that says it was taken in Lincoln, Neb in 1910.
Rachel's child Eliza Ann Bays in the 1850 census
is with her grandparents William and Lucy Bays in Greene
Co. I am a decendent of Eliza Ann and John F M Todd.
