One other possibility comes to mind. "Sanona" seems a very unusual name. Do you have other instances of it for her? Perhaps someone mis-transcribed "Lanora", which may have been a census-taker's attempt at "Elenora" or "Leonora" or something along those lines. Marsha L.

FYI, I just came across the name Sanora/Sonora in Macon County. So I think it is a valid name, though I had never heard it before.

Possibly right. Doing the 1845 index, I was having a time deciding an L and S. The swishes were very close. I probably have more wrong. Marita and Jill found two. Would like to ring some necks if they had still been alive. Hope other people can correct me on more. Gloria At 11:08 AM 8/14/2009, you wrote: >One other possibility comes to mind.
