I want to say a big THANK YOU to all that responded to my question about the 1880 Census. I have finally gotten the original copy of the Census record. Boy, what a job. But I so appreciate the help. Trecia researching the Hitchcock's, Futrell's

Sometimes the link breaks at Ancestry. Look for them in the index on FamilySearch.org in the free 1880 Census index. while you can't "see" the original census page, you'll have to wait for the link to get repaired, you can see the household members neighbors, etc. Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: <TGrif93021@aol.com> To: <ALLAUDER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 8:02 PM Subject: 1880 Census Record of Lauderdale Co.

I'm a great granddaughter of James T Henson and Elmira Whitten, who died around 1885-95 in Lauderdale Co and were buried at Murphy Chapel Cemetery. Trying to determine where the children went upon the death of their parents. Elmira died first (causes and date unknown). I found one of their children, Nancy Jane, age 6 living with the Isac Spain family in the 1880 census, listed as their niece. Elmira was still alive in 1880. Eventually the children went to the Waco, TX area. I'm told they lived with a Spain family there, too.

Is there anyone on list doing research on Flora F. Utley who married thomas F. Marlar in Benton Co., TN on 8/28/1900. Their child, Sally Myrtle, married John Murphy and I believe one of their descendants married into a Cabler line in Lauderdale Co. I am editor of the Gossett Gazette and we are trying to locate all the descendants of Henry and Margaret Burns Gossett who were Myrtle's great-grandparents. Her grandmother was Sarah Gossett who married Martin Van Buren Utley. I would appreciate any info or contact. Thanks, Glenda
