Hi Everyone, If anyone knows anything about either family listed below please contact me. I'm trying to determine if they are related. The first family is my gg-grandfather, and the second family is listed right below him on the 1850 Census for East Finley Twp., Wash. Co., PA. William Howell, age 36, born in Pa. Nancy age 31, " " " John age 10, " Margaret age 8, " William H. age 6, " Mary age 5, " James W. B. age 1, " This one is really hard to make out the letters: William Howell , age 62, it looks as if he was born in Md Margaret age 60, born in PA. Soloman (I think), he's definitely a male, age 25, born in PA. Alexander, age 22, born in Pa. Mary, age 25, born in Pa. Clare (Maybe?, first two letters are a Cl), and she is a female, age 19, born in PA.
