Thanks Lou, I saw the Hyatt->John Creed connection as well but the parent's Pennsylvania birthplace and the age discrepancy between the John Creed in the later census and the son of Hyatt (7 years) made me think that I had to be wrong. I realize census reports are not always accurate, however, and have found a number of errors even with family members as recent as my grandmother. Thank you for the pointer, I will continue looking at the Hyatt Creed line and see if I can get any further. For some reason the Creed line, the one I care about the most, has been terribly difficult to trace. I have every other major line back to Europe, some to the 1300s.
