JLynn, I would like to thank you for posting the Ohio 1840 census index. I see listed a man who I am hoping is my gggrandfather, Edward Landon Carter. CARTER, E. L. LOGA 066 RUSH CRE And, a woman who could be his mother, Mary Wade Carter. CARTER, MARY LOGA 066 RUSH CRE Unfortunatly, I am not too familiar with the way that one would go about obtaining a copy of the actual census. Can you tell me who I would contact? Warm regards, Denise E. Vice
