Mary: The index to the 1860 Federal Census, IL, shows the following: BARNES, G. Pike County IL Pleasant Hill Twp. census page 619. If your dates are accurate, and this is Griff Barnes, the census record should show the G. Barnes family with a 1-2 yr old boy named John. I do not have access to the 1860 census records here at home -- but now you know a good place to look for Griff! Bill Smothers Delaware Mommy2kota@aol.com wrote: > Hi all, > > Just a quick request!!
