Okay, so I am about a year behind everybody....lol. Based on all the emails concerning Woodson Francis and his descendents, I did a little census snooping. Based on the info, Woodson apparently had a daughter named Lucinda and sons named Miller and James (and other children), but this specifically is responsive to these children. I don't think I've seen this in emails before, but if so, sorry for the duplication: During the 1850 census of Austin County the following were polled between pages 88 - 90. Family number listed first. 14 HGW Cloud & family 15. W. G. Bush/Zillah Bush & Family (think we are related to president??? lol) 16. James Cloud & Virginia Jane McDade Cloud/Joseph Francis and wife, Mary 17. Jeremiah Cloud & Elizabeth 18. John C. Cloud/Mary 19. Mary Olfred (age 62) with possible daughter Harriet, husband and child 20. Miller Francis & family 21. Lucinda Washam & family (Lucinda shown age 45) 22. James Francis & family (James shown age 45) If I were a betting person (and have been known to do so on occasion) suspect this is Lucinda Francis Washam, and James is Woodson's son. Here is the census: 1850 census (Austin County, TX, taken 3 Oct Miller Francis, age: 40, b: TN, farmer; Nancy, wife, age: 36, b: OH; Margarette, age: 10, b: TX; James, age: 6, b: TX; Lidia Ann, age: 4, b: TX; Elizabeth Francis, age: 65, b: VA; Elizabeth F. ?, age: 22, b: TN; Mary McKey, age: 21, b: LA; John Ahrint, age: 14, b: GER. (Note: this Elizabeth would apparently be Woodson's widow and Miller's mother.) Lucinda Washam, age: 45, b: TN; John, age: 23, b: MO; Woodson, age: 18, b: MO; Thomas, age: 15, b: MO; William, age: 13, b: MO; Lafayettt, age: 8, b: MO. (my note: This John may be the one who married Mary Connolly, daughter of Elizabeth Cloud and Isaac Connolly) James Francis, age: 45, b: TN; Claracy, age: 42, b: TN; Woodson, age: 18, b: MO; Jonathon, age: 14, b: MO; William, age: 11, b: MO; James, age: 6, b: MO; Narcissa, age: 17, b: MO; Missouri, age: 9, b: MO; America, age: 7, b: MO; Jane, age 8/12, b: TX. [Must have been confusing to have two boys the same age with the same name living not too far apart. How did they ever know which Woodson everyone was talking about...lol.] Okay, so this is my thoughts so far. If it's nothing new, then just ignore. Lura
