Hello Connie and All, Thank you for all the helpful data you are sharing. Were you saying that you believe MERCER should read MESSER? I do not find the name MESSER in the index of this 1850 Census. Thanks again for your help. Wasn't it totally wonderful to see the Roster of the 26th Reg Co H? Hope we see more treasures like this. Saw the names on this roster that are in one of the songs done by the "Rebelaires" from the Waresboro area, these men are their ancestors. Benjamin Smith, Needham Arnold and Peter Griffin. Song title is "Peter, Needham and Ben" on album "Let's Do it Again" Sharon
