Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that I have the following census films and
am willing to do look ups. I only have the films for one month.

Dear Rayna,
Thank you very much for your offer. I have some names of ancestors about
whom I know very little other than they passed through Indiana. If you
could find any of them, I would be grateful.
1st Generation
Elizabeth Caroline BABCOCK, b 6 Dec 1852 Lafayette IN (came to CA bef 1875
when she married Lafayette SWEITZER).
2nd Generation
Henry E. SWEITZER m 14 1834, LaGrange Co, IN to Julia LEVERICH - they may
have returned to Iowa, his home, because their son was born there. Came to
CA in @ May 1849)
Mortimore O. BABCOCK, b in PA 1818, marr 9 Oct 1845 Lafayette IN to
Eleanore Wheeler BRADY. They came to CA.
3rd Generation
Billings BABCOCK d 29 Oct 1844 Wea Twp, Tippecanoe, IN; marr 18 Aug 1812
Sarah Ann SHERMAN
William BRADY b 1789-93 MD, m 18 Jul 1816, d 6 Dec 1874 Tippecanoe, IN;
Jane DAVIS b 15 Jun 1799 MD, d 23 Jul 1862, Tippecanoe, IN
4th Generation
Joseph DAVIS
Mary BRAY
As you see, the 1st Generation would not be in the 1840 census, but perhaps
the 2nd generation would have been. I have several bits of information on
Billings BABCOCK, but none of Sarah Ann SHERMAN, William BRADY, Jane DAVIS
or her parents. Don't know whether William Brady and Jane Davis married in
IN or were married when arrived.
I hope this is enough information to be of help to you, and I again thank
you for the lookup.
