I was researching the census today, when I came across a record that I thought was unusual. Does anyone have any information on this family. The family was listed under the dwelling of 1280 which had the head of household as a Josiah Deloach. The person I was looking up was Mary. I have been hunting my gggrandfather for over a year. I know he lived in the Northern Division in 1850. His CSA pension app said he was born in Marshall Co abt 1842. I was not able to find him listed as Joseph William Hill. I suspect he might be Lucian W. ( I know that's stretching it, but what if his real name was Lucian?) The state of birth could be wrong could have been recorded wrong also (stretching it even farther.) But hey this is what rootsweb is all about, maybe someone can put this hunch to bed. I checked the 1860 Lucian is not listed on it, nor my gggrandfahter. I will do my best to transcribe the information that was on it. I hope someone has something on it. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1280 1280 Josiah Deloach 43 M Blank Blank Blank Tenn Oliva Deloach 42 F " 7000 " Tenn Mary F.

They had William H. Hill residing there age 23. I was wondering if might be related to this family and there working. Yes I'm grabbing at straws but I'm getting frustrated trying to find my gggrandfather, he is invisible in MS. I hope that someone out there can help me solve this riddle so I don't waste many hours trying to run down a dead end. Thanks again Woody
