I am unable to find my core family on 1870 Census, except for the WOOD family (see below). I've looked for them in Arkansas and TN. Anyway, here they are for 1880: (8 & 9 June 1880) Big Rock Twp, Pulaski, AR (ED 148, Pg 420D 100) PORTER, John, B, M, 47, Farmer, Al, --, Africa Julia, B, F, 35, wife, keeping house, Va/VA/VA Charlotte, B, F, 7, dau, at home, AR/AL/VA Cornelia, B, F, 4, at home, same.

Also Janeta's last name is MOORE, not WOOD or WOODS. If anyone can locate the DOUTHIT//DOUTHED's or DOUTHARD's, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance. Cyrille I've looked in 1870 ARkansas for Harriet Mathews (Matthews), she would be about 6 years of age -- nothing. My next clue is to find David Prior, maybe he's a relation of some sort! A gal with great eyes saw the second listing for the WOOD(S) family and George DOUTHIT (that spelling was DOWTHAR on first listing). ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
