Nadine, There was a federal census in Kansas Territory in 1860 and it is accessible anywhere you can get the 1860 census. There was a state census for Kansas in 1865 and every 10 years after that until 1925. The Kansas state census is available on Ancestry.com. Diane From: Nadine & Sid Snider Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 2:46 PM To: IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL Subject: [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Miller and Harden families Just found that my husband had two families living in Washington County, Hamilton during the 1850 Census. One was his great great grandparents George and Bathsheba Harden. Their daughter Elizabeth was 16 at the time and apparently born in Ohio. Other members of the Harden family were William -18, James - 13 Emily - 10, Monroe - 7 and Mary Ann age 1. Also in the home were the following: Geo W Yauncey age 23, Elizabeth Cochean -70, Daniel Goodrick - 38, Cassandra Goodrick, - 52, William Goodrick - 14, James Goodrick - 10, Lathrod Goodrick - 7 and Harriet Kenady age 40. Think this family had moved to Kansas Territory by the 1860 Census and not sure where there would be a census for them. Elizabeth Harden later married Augustus Miller son of David and Lydia Styres Miller. This family was also living in Washing, Hamilton, Indiana at the time of the 1850 census. Cannot find Augustus in the 1850 census, but am know they were his parents. Also in the home were J. Daniel age 17, Jeffrey H, age 14, William B age 12, Savilla S age 9 Mary C age 6 and Mariah E age 4. Also in the home was Harriet Corbin age 17. Know that Augustus was born 1826 in Stokes County, NC. Know this family was also living in Kansas during the 1860 census. Assume that Augustus would have been living and working outside his parents home during the 1860 census. Did find two about his age one living in Rush Indiana and one in Newberry, LaGrange, Indiana. I wonder if he could have been married before he married Elizabeth. If anyone thinks any of this is familiar would love to trade information with you. But, think I just disproved one family story. Elizabeth was claimed she went to school with William Quantrill, we had always assumed he was the teacher and she the student, but she was born in 1834 and he in 1837. Think he was born in Ohio and so was she - so perhaps they were classmates there - don't know when her family moved to Indiana.

Thanks Diane Think I was trying heritage quest for the census and Kansas was listed as being avialbe. Will try ancestry and see if I can find it. Nadine
