In checking the 1860 Census for Rachael Shreeves, the Rachael born in 1848 was in McDonough County and was the daughter of William (age 46) and Catharine (age 45) Shreeves so I am wondering if this is the right person. and Henry C. Rose was 4 months old in the 1860 Census the son of Joseph and Mary Rose living in Manhattan twp., Witt(?) Co., IL If you would like me to check the census records further, please let me know.

Elayne, you are right; that was a typo - Robert W. Combs was born 22 Nov. 1796. Sorry. Thank you for your offer to look at the 1860 census, but apparently you are right, it is another Rachel Shreeves, mine, born (ca. 1848) in IL. I did not have an exact date. And re: Rachel Shreeves, again you probably are right. In looking at my records again, I see that mine married Henry C. Ross. (I am visually impaired and misread the name Ross for Rose). Although I am now unable to find the messages, there were two other researchers who mentioned Mary Ann Combs in connection to the above Rachel Shreeves. So, apparently in error, I put the two (Rachel Shreeves and Mary Ann Combs) together and thought I had the Rachel that had been requested. I am sorry, please put it down to a "senior" moment. - Marna - --------------------------------- Elayne Roberts wrote: > In checking the 1860 Census for Rachael Shreeves, the Rachael born in 1848 > was in McDonough County and was the daughter of William (age 46) and > Catharine (age 45) Shreeves so I am wondering if this is the right person. > and Henry C.
