Surnames: Havens, Green Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4R.2ADE/1289.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I was actually researching a Mary Robertson who married a Green. It was then discovered she was married to a Havens prior to her marriage to John Green. She had Havens children, when she married Mr Green. I tried to look at the 1840 census and see what families were there that were named Havens and I found Joseph. Then in 1850, there are no Havens and the Havens children are living with their Green step-father and the census taker listed them with a last name of Green.The 1860 census tells me that they are in Baldwin county, listed as Hannens (poor handwriting). Mary had remarried a Mr. Glover (in Mobile), had two more children and then Mr. Glover died in the Civil War, Mary died shortly after him in Mobile. Anyway...one obit for one of the Havens kids states that she was born in Evergreen, and so does one of the Green kids. I was grasping at straws, assuming that the only Havens man in Conecuh in 1840 was their father. All of the Haven's children's ages do fit the 1840 ce! nsus of Joseph's household. Census records state that the Havens father was born in AL, and MS. More times than not it states MS. Once it even states France? I'm inclined to think he was born in MS and was connected to your Havens in some way. Thanks for responding... Marla
