In the 1870 census of Liberty Township, Adams, Ohio: ALEXANDER, James J. 35 cooper $100 Ohio ---------, Mary J. 32 Keeping house Ohio ---------, Laura 8 attending school Ohio ---------, Margie G. 5 at home Ohio ---------, John W. 2 at home Ohio ---------, Albert M. 4/12 at home Ohio Born Mar I found this family by sorting wife's name. Strangely, I had a gggrandfather in KY who changed his name between 1860 and 1870. Or maybe James died and she married his brother. Anyway, just trying to help.
