Believe it or not, I just saw this message almost a year after the fact. I had about given up on ever finding out my grandfather's parents. I came across them listed in the Ouachita County, AR census of 1880 by accident yesterday. I still live in Ouachita County, AR. By the time I read your message, I had found John W and Sarah E in the census, with my grandfather listed as their 10 month old son. I know he was born in 1879, so that fits. John W's birthplace (and his parents' birthplace) is listed as NC. I went to search for Elisha and Rhoda and found them listed in NC. But then the problems started! Too many Elisha's!! Do you know who Elisha's parents were? Are they Joshua and Mary Jane (Jones) of NC?? If so, then I have right line (direct descendants only, no siblings) traced back to Richard b.1600 in Fifeshire, Scotland d. 1630/46 in Jamestown, VA. I'd appreciate any help! Also, does anyone know Marsil's email? The one listed doesn't work and the one I have in ! my address book is also returned. I think now that I know it's the NC clan, I can get somewhere. I've been stumped by only knowing AR until yesterday!
