Hi Ray, Elizabeth Courson, wife of Benjamin, was widowed somewhere around 1845 in Licking Co., Ohio and then moved to Illinois, where her last child David Courson was born. The 1850 Census for Marion Co., Dist. 11, pg. 133 (67) lists Elizabeth CORSON and her 6 children. The 1860 Census lists her on p. 82 $585 Kinmundy, then with 3 remaining children, Isaac, Sarah and David. Do you have a GEDCOM file available of your family history?

Steve Yes I found Elizabeth in both census. That is what I get for trying to answer mail late at night. In the printed verson of the census that I have at home her name is spelled Coarson and I looked right over it. Ray --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
