Dear Richard, You are very knowledgeable! Thanks very much. I knew much of this (have fond memories of attending Paso Robles Pioneer Day as a child and meeting dozens of relatives!), and correspond with my cousin (once removed), Henrietta Tognazzini, who is also a genealogy buff, but you have filled in a couple of gaps. Do you know where I could obtain a copy of "Centennial Family Memories"? Bernard Exline married Elizabeth Huey in Greene Co., IN, on 12 Nov. 1849. Some time after that (I can't find them on the 1850 census!) they moved to California, together with Elizabeth's parents, Thomas and Vesta (Stewart) Huey, and possibly other family members. Thomas and Vesta are on the 1880 census in Salinas Twp, together with son William, and one of the things I would like to find out is when they died and where they are buried, as well as what happened to William (a constable aged 44 on that census). Bernard and Elizabeth had four children, Isabel, William H. (my g-grandfather), Thomas S., and Bernard Lincoln Jr. Elizabeth and three of her children died of tuberculosis (she thought open windows were unhealthy). William H. married Harriet Esther Warner, who also had four children during her short married life (William died young), and raised them alone while running the ranch. Bernard's half-brother Levi Exline and half-sister Rebecca Exline Stockdale (married to David Stockdale) also came out to California from Indiana--not sure if with Bernard or not--and put down strong roots. Anyway, I have a basic outline but would like to fill it in a bit! If anyone else is researching Hueys or Exlines, I would be pleased to hear from you!
