ok, I'm thinking out loud here I need to bounce this off of someone if you have any ideas please e-mail me ok I have this John L EAGLE born 1820 in Gallia Co, OH he married Racheal FEE born about 1824 Gallia Co, OH the marry in Gallia start having kids and sell their land in Gallia in 1848 in 1850 I find them with 3 children in Auglaize Co, OH 1 son is living with grandson FEE in Gallia Co in 1852 they sell their land there they don't show up in the census in Auglaize or Gallia at this point I have no idea where they are I know from a history of Gallia Co that John L. EAGLE was dead by 1882 it lists with his mother that by 1882 she had 2 sons living and 2 sons dead in the mean time their daughter Mary Ladica marries Levi HUGHES in Gallia she has one daughter that lives to be an adult on her death certificate it indicates she was born in Gallia about 1861 at some point (not yet determined) Mary & Levi HUGHES end up in Perry Co, IL in 1878 George Washington EAGLE her brother ends up in Saunders Co, NE-his son told his daughter that George had a falling out with his family and never talked about him except a sister he had that had a daughter in 1900 sister Ellen EAGLE shows up in Perry Co census and marries a widow in 1904 she was about 59 when she married in 1900 brother William Henry EAGLE single shows up in Perry Co census in 1910 he's living with the widow Mary EAGLE HUGHES only Mary, Levi & their daughter show up in the 1880 census cds from the Morman's I just don't know where else to look I've looked for John in the civil war but didn't find anyone that seemed to be him I've considered checking state censuses if there's a man missing in 1852 how do you look for him? thanks, Debbie
