In Lawrence Co Ohio, I need help checking the 1840 census, Land ownership records, and Probate records for the following family: Father: James Anderson b: abt 1796 married: abt 1826 d: abt 1843+ Wife: Nancy b:abt 1803 5 children 1.Peter b: 28 OCT 1833 va d: 29 July 1908 tx 2.James b: 1835 va 3.John Thomas b: 1838 va d: 1 Jan 1892 oh 4.Suzanne b: 1841 5.George Wash b: 31 Aug 1843 oh d: 2 May 1923 Denton co, Texas m: Bassheba Dean 8 Oct 1868 Ironton, Lawrence, Ohio GW is my GGrandfather and James is his father. I have not been able to verify the family on an 1840 census. I understand that his wife Nancy married a Joseph McIntyre after 1850 and was with him to their death in early 1870's. In the early 1870's, GW moved the family to Southern Illinois with his wife's family (James Dean family) then on to Texas in the late 1870's. Hopefully there might be a probate record for James and a Land record also. Possibly these records could verify the family and possibly show who his parents were and where he was born. I appreciate any and all help. I have other information available and am willing to share. Thanks again, Wm Jay Anderson Denton Texas
