This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fh.2ADI/5927.1 Message Board Post: Donald, I emailed the info directly to you.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to know (exactly) where they lived. My best hint would be to find someone in the area who has been there "forever" and may, therefore, either know your family or know the families who are found near them on the census. I say this because I was delighted, when I did the 1850 census of my home township, to discover that I could tell which road the census taker was working his way along, most of the time, because I just knew which families lived there when I was a child, or from other things I had read as I worked on my several families in the area. It's worth a try certainly. Try contacting the genealogy, historical, or public libraries in the area and inquire if they know someone who might be well-acquainted enough to help you out. Alternatively, my county has several plat maps that date to the time around 1860. Perhaps the family name could be found there. Contact the same folks for information about which maps might be available in your area of interest. Good luck finding what you wish to know, and sooner rather than later...tho you should not give up. Amazing things can pop up at the most unexpected times.

Hi Joan, I was trying to find "Lousy Ridge" and found everything but. I also checked the Post Office and they don't have it listed either. I'm sending in the other websites I found.
