I have just received a copy of the 1850 Census for Madison County that has been transcribed and alphabetized. It also contains an index of those with different last names living in the households of others. Parts of it have been cross-referenced to marriage and birth records and those comments added. I'd be happy to do look-ups for list-members as time permits, I just ask for your patience - I read quickly but type poorly. My own query for the list is regarding the CARRUTH and/or STEPHENS families. My Elmira A. CARRUTH married Zadoc D. STEPHENS in November 1836. I am seeking parents for both of them. There are a couple of 'candidates' in the 1850 Census: Does any list-member have add'l information about a William CARRUTH married in 1798 in Oglethorpe County, GA to an Elizabeth McENDER? William and Elizabeth are 73 and 72 (both born in NC) respectively in the 1850 Census and could be Elmira's parents.... I don't have any other leads at this point. Candidates for Zadoc STEPHENS' parents: Not in the 1850 Census for Madison County, but there is a marriage record for a Stephen STEPHENS to a Ruthy BRAGG in Madison County on May 3, 1813 (Zadoc was born ABT 1815 in GA) - this could fit... There is a James STEPHENS (b in VA, age 61 in 1850) married to Sarah SORROW (b. in GA, age 56 in 1850) married "Oglethorpe County, 1815-16?... also a possibility. Any insight, suggestions, leads greatly appreciated. Happy to share descendants if any interest. Nikki Neal ALLEN AtlsShrggd@aol.com
