Hello Again Nancy, Well, since others might be interested, just go ahead and post it here. Thanks very, very much for the data. Oops! Almost forgot to ask. All databases I've found, where birth dates are given for Charles' and Mary's children, have Nancy Elizabeth born 4 Jan 1870. The 1870 Census for Cass Co., IL, which was taken in August, gives Nancy's age as 4/12. I'm wondering if someone saw her birth date as 1/4/1870 or 4/1/1870 and entered the date as 4 Jan when it should have been 1 Apr. That's the problem with using only numbers for dates - it is usually not possible to know if the numbers represent Day/Month/Year or Month/Day/Year; that is, unless one of the numbers is greater than 12, then it's easy to figure which is the day and which is the month. I wish everyone would use the system used in Europe, where it's always Day/Month/Year.

Sarge, 4/12 should mean age 4 months in a census record rather than a date. I just checked the actual census. The month Jan is in another column (If born within the year state month). So she was born in January 1870 but the exact date is not noted. Interestingly, this family is listed twice -- in both Ashland Precinct in April 1871 (1870 crossed out and 1871 written in) and Lancaster Precinct in Aug. 1870, both in Cass County, Illinois.
