Hi Sid, First and foremost, thank you for all your trouble. It is really appreciated as this family is just too confusing for words. What I have is Rachael's birthdate of March 11, 1851. I have a copy of a photo undated which pictures Rachael and her two brothers Thomas and Perry. Rachael marries Benjamin Franklin Flowers and they live in Illinois. In the 1880 Census I found them with two daughters, Cecia b. 1877 and Nettie b. 1880. I do know that this daughter, Nettie, lives to maturity. So, my thinking is that this may just be the family I've been searching for and I can discard George. I know I'm being a pest, but this is as close as I've gotten in many years of searching. Would it be possible to try to track this family both back and forward in time? In the 1880 Census, I found a Jackson Corbin, b. 1818 in WV married to Sarah J. b. 1823 in WV. They have a son W. "T." born in 1854 which would make him the correct age for the William T. you found. I have the feeling that this family Corbin was in Harrison County, West Virginia (formerly Virginia) at one time and this is when Rachael and Benjamin Flowers may have met. Thank you so much for everything you've done. Maureen
