Her grandfather was Edward Burton Odem born about 1854 according to 1880 US census. Her father was Max E Odem but can find no proof of this. We have no record of birth. Can you help? or is this yet another dead end. I am also curious about why in the 1880 census Eddy appears 3 years old and Freddy 3 years old. Do you have any info about them. My mother in law is 70 years old and very curious about her father's family. Thank you in advance for any information you may have to help.

Hello Pratt searchers .... Is anyone out there descended from or ever heard of any PRATT families from either Pennsylvania or Kentucky? I'm looking for descendants of John Pratt, b. 1810 in Pennsylvania. John married a woman named "Elizabeth __?__" in Kentucky around 1840. Their first child, Edward, was also b. in Kentucky about 1841. During the next 20 years, There were at least eight more children born in Indiana (Parke County) and Iowa. Children's names were Edward, Reuben, Charlotte, Fleming J., Jemima, Sarah, Merritt, Lewis, Mary Elizabeth. My grandmother was the youngest child, Mary Elizabeth, b. May 19, 1861 Several of John's sons were in Kansas (Rooks County) by 1880. Thus far I have been unable to contact any of the few people who have put information on the internet (mostly descendants of Fleming J. Pratt) ... Are you out there?

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Fl.2ADE/1783 Message Board Post: The Colvilles settled in colonial Virginia, but the records about them are difficult to piece together. Using the LDS search engine on the 1880 national census, it appears that by 1880 the Colvilles had all left Virginia. The LDS version of the census shows that many elderly Colvilles, some born in Virginia, were living in Mashaka County, Iowa, in 1880. In Mahaska are there any books of pioneer biographies that include the Colvilles, any old Colville family histories, old Bibles? I am looking for connection to the Evans, Creswell and Vance families, but any information is welcome. Sincerely, J. Mitchell
