Hi Jim: Here is some of the information I have ready from the 1850 Louisa Co. Census. I have used the following abbreviation: h-house; f-family. Any notes I make are in italics. h\2 f\2 PINKERTON, James age 73 farmer b Ireland Florence Twp " Martha 55 " " Thomas 28 " " h\29 f\29 WARNER, Simeon W. 39 " b OH Jefferson Twp " Nancy 33 " " Elizabeth 13 IA " Nancy A. 9 " " John 7 " " Martin 5 " " Simon T. 3 " (there may have been more children however the bottom of the page was not printed). I checked the Mortality Schedule in the back of the book, nothing for the above surnames). The marriage records start in 1837 as Louisa County, Wisc. Territory (published by the Iowa Genealogical Society, no dated given). I have used * to indicate that surname is on the 1850 Louisa Co. Census. bt Book "B" pg 70 19 Sept 1856 Thomas L. Pinkerton* Nancy Robb 57 26 Jun " Daniel McLaughlin Susannah Robb (no other Robbs\McLaughlin prior to 1856) Book "C' 44 13 Apr 1864 James M. Robb Kate D. Presley " " pg 111 25 Dec 1866 Albert P.
