Haney, 10, b. VA, with father William Haney, 37(?), b. VA and mother Mary, 46, b. PA, and a sister Elizabeth Ann, 11. The family also appears there in the 1860 census (Morgantown PO) with an additional Andrew Madera, 10, in the household. No brother William, though. In 1870, Monongalia Co was part of WV and I don't see any of the family remaining in the county. Bruce

As I've witched before every time I think I have a clue on this, I end up with more discrepancies instead! Thanks! Cheryl
