The 1860 US Census conducted in the Scott Twp, Linn County, Kansas shows my gggrandfather, John Marion HART(b. 9 Mar 1844) living his parents and family as follows: George Hart, 38 (b. 1822 in Ohio) Sarah Hart, 43 (b. 1817 in Ohio) John Hart, 16 (b. 1844 in Iowa) This is my ggrandfather Lucinda Hart, 14, (b. 1846 in Iowa) Minerva Hart, 12, (b. 1848 in Iowa) George Hart, 4 (b. 1856 in Iowa) Lodina Hart, 15 (b. 1865 in Iowa) I believe this is the niece of the head of household, being the daughter of George Sr's brother Isaiah Hart, b. 1821 in Ohio (see 1850 U.S. census Dist. #26, Keokuk County, Iowa) Anyway, I cannot find out what happened to the youngest son George HART (b. 1856). He does not show up in the 1870 census conducted in the same place as the 1860 census in Kansas. This 1870 census record shows the daughter, Lucinda living with her husband, Samuel SCOTT and their children in George and Sarah Hart's home, but no George, jr. I suspect he may have died, or gone to live with his sister Minerva's family, or off to work somewhere, but then I cannot find Minerva in the 1870 census either. I realize she probably was married, and do not know here married last name. If anyone has any information about this family, either the parents, George and Sarah HART, or the missing children, Minerva and George HART, or suggestions as to where to look for them, I would be ever so grateful. Here is wishing you a Merry Christmas and happy hunting for your ancestors. Sincerely, Steve Bruner, bru023@charter.net
