Hi, Different birth place for Cyrus and Polly is Mary, but the John Leonard being with them in 1860 and in the county where Lydia and Jesse are pretty well convinces me that this is them. 1860 Iowa, Benton, Cedar Cyrus Cotton 65 m Farmer NC Mary Cotton 63 f Vir John Leonard 13 m Ind Nancy Terry 19 f Ind right under them again, with a different birth place and age a bit off could be Lydia's sister Martha? John Good 35 m Tenn Martha T? J? I? 29 f NC Sarah A 4 f Ind If that is daughter Martha she and family are still in Iowa, Benton, Cedar in 1870. Good John 45 m w Farmer Tenepse? Martha T 40 f w Keeping House N Carolina Sarah A 13 f w Home Indiana (still there in 1880 too, didn't gather details or look further. The Benton Co., IA GenWeb has Cyres Cotton in 1856 Benton Co., IA, also has the 1860 on that site and Jesse and Lydia can be found in the 1860 there though I didn't see them in the 1856. There are some trees on rootsweb with more information on some of the siblings of Lydia. Barb
