Debbie, Thanks, I appreciate it. I don't know when I will be getting back to the library and if I can't find Paschal with the Keas, a number of my family's theories will be shot to smitharines. After reviewing my data, it could be possible that Paschal and Margaret were married in the 1830 census and mother Kitty still was keeping household. By 1840 the children were grown and Kitty went to live with the children.
