This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Riggs; Fuller; Halstead Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hg.2ADI/641 Message Board Post: In the 1860 Mercer County Census, I found William Harrison and Elizabeth Dungan Riggs and their son Thomas Benjamine living in Millersburg. The family also had Lucy A. Fuller ; D. S. Halstead and Jefferson Fuller living with them. Are these people related or are they just boarders ? Lucy was still with them in the 1870 census. Please help me solve this puzzle. Thanks Marna Wakeland Wilson

Marna In 1860, Lucy A. is 3 years old when she is living with Harrison and Elizabeth Riggs. (Page 259A, household No. 121.) Did you notice there is also a Lucy A., age 3 and her sister, Sarah - age 6, listed with Anson and Sally Fuller. (Page 852, household No. 1436.) Then I see a Sarah Fuller - age 6 living with the family of John and Mary (can't make out the last name - Page 854) and their offspring nearby in household No. 1450. Are these the same Lucy and Sarah listed twice? Do you have the connection there? Sounds like this family was really split up!
