more interpretations.... In trying to figure out that Philip in AR that had children born in Ala., I thought I'd see what Agner/Egners were there and when. --celia :o) Format: Name State County Location Year Census Type Roll Page Agner, Celia AL Marshall County District 22 1850 10 200 [Celia Agner (could be Agnes) age 75 born SC cannot read/write living with 2 Lasley?, 3 Moene/Moire?, and 1 Rachails? The Lasley? and Rachails? were born NC or SC] ================== Agner, Andrew AL Pickens County Southern District 1850 13 88 [I really think this is Agnew. They are from SC. There are two other Agnews families on the same census page, all very close in age and from SC--could be brothers] =================== Egner, Scelia AL Marshall County District 22 1850 10 181 [Scelia Egner, age 80, born SC living with 9 Hutchisons and 1 Rachels--the Hutchisons were all born SC except the 2 youngest children and Rachels was also born SC. This entry is awful close to the Celia Agner entry above. Can two families claim the same two people--Celia Agner and Mary Rachels!??] =================== Egner, Polly AL Cherokee County District 27 1850 3 92 [Polly Egner, age 43, born SC, living with John Egner age 20 occ: Agr? born SC and Almira Egner female age 17 born SC, all living with the James H.
