My ggrandmother was Mary Ellen Hayward b. Jan 30, 1865 in Taylorville, Ill. to Robert and Elizabeth Hayward. Looking for information about her parents. Can anyone check the Census for information in 1870 for birth places and ages of her parents? I know that by 1880 Elizabeth age 44,b. Tn?, was widowed and living with Mary Ellen, age 14, in West Point Township, Bates County, Butler Mo. her father b. RI?. Mary Ellen married William Riley Reed in 1886 in Bates County, Butler, Mo. Some members of the family seem to remember something about Mary Ellen possiably being Jewish. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Barbara __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
