It looks like it is the same family in 1840 and 1850. This is probably your
Lonis family.
Hope this helps.

Phil: Would you be so kind as to see if you can find the following
in your
1830 census. I know it might not be very considerate of me to ask for just
a surname, but that is all I have, as the person I am looking for was not
born until 1832.
Or do you have access to a later census, maybe 1840?
I am looking for George W. Lonis b. 27 Nov 1832 somewhere in IN. He married
Martha Jane Wilkins in Jefferson County on 25 May 1856.
Just trying to determine if a family by this name lived in Jefferson County
at the time.
The surname is "Lonis."
I wouldn't think there would be many of them.
Thanks so much,
