Thank you very much for the lead. I didnt realize it was a free site and glad to hear of it but sad to say there is no Jeremiah Vailes his age on any census from 1850 on. I believe the next thing is to see for certain the dates are correct on the stone though I found it on Find a Grave. I didnt discover him until last night and it appears a lot of research is ahead. Does anyone have a list of wills for the year 1888? Its realy a mystery as who he is and how he got there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jfrench" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 1:57 PM Subject: Re: [INGREENE] Vailes > Go to www.familysearch.com > > The LDS site has the 1880 census transcribed and indexed -- there is no > charge.
