This is not my direct line, but working with various notes on families of Lawrence Co IN, and they all seem to be "backyard" cousins, I found this information and need help in trying to make a discovery. If anyone can help, thanks for your time in advance. Mac Elliott **Vol 2 <James E. Goff> marriage book Lawrence Co on IN, on Ellsworth Deckard (*b 1880) says in remarks: Isaac & Delila (Lewis) Deckard; laborer. Which leads one to believe Ellsworth to be their son. However, that's not what it seems to be. 1880 Census Place: Johnson, Brown, Indiana Source: FHL Film 1254267 National Archives Film T9-0267 Page 332B Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Isaac DECKARD Self M M W 37 IN Occ: Farmer Fa: VA Mo: NC Delilah DECKARD Other F M W 29 IN Occ: Keeping House Fa: IN Mo: IN Maud A.
