Gwen, who are you researching on the census in the 11th district? I have BRYANT, and have seen the census, someone told me that it was agreed that it was the worst census taken! My family, as nearly as I can determine, was listed twice, in two different districts, and everyone had been given just initials, or "Ma" and "Pa". The children only were given initials. Anyway, good luck. Cousin Mary in OK WILLIAMS, BRYANT/BRIANT, ALDERSON, WINFREY, DODD, TURPIN, ADAMSON. All VA & TN
Gwen and Mary The 1850 census of Marion co is not that bad. As with all census it is not perfect but quite good actually. The copy at the geneological society library has extensive notes by a couple local geneologists and is quite helpfull. Time does not allow me to do extensive lookups now but I can do only a couple quick ones. Ray --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

HI ALL, Was wondering if anyone could help me with information on this family. We have the original one line but would love to know the siblings, children etc (any thing) of this line. As far as I know they settled in the Sandoval/Odin and Effingham, IL area but not real sure. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. This is what we have so far and can't seem to go any farther. William Henry Pontious b: Oct. 5, 1854 in Indiana d: Jan 7, 1940 (possibly Illinois) married Nancy Stroud (no information except she probably was from the Indiana Area) We have one of their children but would like more information on any remaining children they might have had The one we have is Clarence Milton Pontious b: May 22, 1898 Illinois d: Nov. 28, 1974 married Ree Ellen Mae Macklin b: March 1, 1901 d: July 1982 (either IL or Ind.) among their children was a son Ralph William Pontious b: Oct. 19, 1926 IL. d: Feb. 7. 1991 ( possibly Effingham area) He married Lucille E. Bricker b: Sept. 18, 1930 still living daughter of John Bricker b: April 17, 1881 d: Aug. 16, 1994 & Bessie Cook b: unknown d: January 18, 1952 in the Sandoval / Odin area. John was the sone of Shannon Bricker b: July 23, 1846 d: July 18, 1930 & Eliz Jane Vangarden b: unknown d: Jan. 7, 1924. Any information on these families, their siblings, children etc will be so greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance Sandy
