For the person (ooooh bad memory on who and which county--sorry!): I was able to locate my partial copy of the Illinois 1850 Gallatin Co. Census and on it are the following TARRANTS:James E. TARRANTS, age 30, laborer Mary Tarrants,24 Haldah A. , age 7 William H. ,age 5 David S. , age 1 The above were all in Household # 136, Cane Creek Township. In household # 58 (Bear Creek Township) I find: Asa B. Tarrants age 31, farmer; Mary age 24, James A. age 8, Betsy J. age 7, Thomas J. age 5, and William E. age 3. In household # 63, Bear Creek Township: James TARRANTS, age 58, farmer; Jane age 56;Mary J. age 21; and in the same household were Benjamin F.BRUCE age 25 farmer, and Tabitha W. BRUCE, age 23. If anyone knows anything about Benjamin and Tabitha BRUCE I'd love to chat with you. I hope the data on the TARRANT family is what you needed. I suspect that James and Asa TARRANTS were probably sons of the elder James and his wife Jane. Jane was Shawnee Indian and the mother of Isoville/ Isavilla TARRANT b. abt 1826 that married William T. PRITCHETT. Sincerely: Carol Dugger RESEARCHING; DUGGER,EDWARDS, PRITCHETT, BRUCE
