Thank you Shirley for this information.
What can you make out of the below information?
Sarah is shown with one child named James, age 10 in 1850.
In 1860 the family is listed as John (Gilson)-45, Sarah-48, Elizabeth A.-19,
William Allen-17, and James P.-15.
These would all be McKaig children as the youngest is born in 1845, and she
didn't marry John Gilson until 1862 at Greene Co. Indiana.
In 1850 James McKaig would have been 05. Elizabeth & William would have been
09 & 07.
Any suggestions as to why the other children are not listed in 1850 ? Or why
James is listed as 10 instead of five ?
Best Regards;
Dave.

<< I have found your Sarah in the 1850 Columbiana Co. Ohio Census and she has
1
child here, no husband listed so im guessing her husband died before this
census was done.
You will find this information on Page 246b, dwelling number 1863 and family
number 1876, lines 10-11. Line 10 has Sarah McKaig, 38 Female, born Penn.
Line 11 has Jas. McKaig, 10 Male, born Ohio and school is checked.
