Hi Chuck, (and I will CC it to the original list you enquired on - Monroe, and also to Lawrence Co list, in case there are other researchers on these names there) Don't know why it bounced - received other requests, and an email from you, too ---internet goblins at work, I guess! The 1840 census is not broken down by location within Lawrence County - they are all lumped together, so I do not know what location everyone is in. I found a JOHN F. WALKER on pg 232A with the following inhabitants: Male: 1 x <5y; 1 x 20-<30y Female: 1 x 15-<20y; 1 x 20-<30y There were no other Walkers or Greens near them - I suppose not unusual given his occupation in newspapers - he would have gone where there was a newspaper job opportunity - not farming near other relatives but not to say there were not other family in the same county. Other WALKERs in Lawrence County in the 1840 census: Pg 184A: Charles WALKER Male: 2 x <5y; 1 x 30-<40y Female: 1 x 5-<10y; 1 x 20-<30y Pg 195A: Guy WALKER Male: 1 x <5y; 1 x 10-<15y; 1 x 50-<60y Female: 1 x <5y; 2 x 1-<10y; 1 x 10-<15y; 1 x 20-<30y; 1 x 40-<50y Pg 199A: Eli WALKER Male: 1 x <5y; 2 x 5-<10y; 2 x 10-<15y; 1 x 40-<50y Female: 1 x <5y; 2 x 10-<15y; 1 x 30-<40y GREENs in Lawrence County 1840 census: Pg 202A: Alex GREEN Male: 1 x <5y; 1 x 10-<15y; 1 x 15-<20y; 1 x 30-<40y; 1 x 40-<50y Female: 1 x <5y; 2 x 5-<10y; 1 x 30-<40y; 1 x 40-<50y Pg 216A: Nathaniel GREEN Male: 1 x 20-<30y Female: 1 x 50-<20y Pg 217A: Thos. GREEN Male: 3 x 5-<10y; 1 x 15-<20y; 1 x 40-<50y Female: 1 x 10-<15y; 1 x 30-<40y Pg 218A: McAllen GREEN (next to Thomas, above): Male: 1 x <5y; 1 x 5-<10y; 1 x 40-<50y Female: 1 x <5y; 1 x 20-<30y Pg 220A: John GREEN Male: 1 x <5y; 2 x 5-<10y; 2 x 10-<15y; 1 x 15-<20y; 1 x 30-<40y Female: 1 x <5y; 1 x 10-<15y; 1 x 30-<40y Pg 227A: Thos. GREEN Male: 1 x <5y; 1 x 20-<30y; Female: 1 x 20-<30y Pg 227A: Geo. GREEN (next to Thomas, above) Male: 1 x 30-<40y Pg 245A: John GREEN Male: 1 x 20-<30y I will include the Greer's that are listed, just on the odd chance that it was mis-read/transcribed - the following certainly are entered here as Greer - but I have Greens in my ancestry, and have found on some censii that they have, on occasion, been entered as Greer. Pg 184A: Joel GREER Male: 1 x <5y; 1 x 5-<10y; 1 x 20->30y Female: 1 x <5y; 1 x 5-<10y; 1 x 10-<15y; 1 x 30-<40y Pg 201A: Geo. GREER Male: 2 x <5y; 2 x 10-<15y; 1 x 30-<40y Female: 1 x <5y; 2 x 5-<10y; 1 x 10-<15y; 1 x 30-<40y Pg 246A: Thos. GREER Male: 1 x <5y; 1 x 20-<30y Female: 1 x <5y; 1 x 20-<30y You mention having 1860 census info for this family in the note you sent directly to me, but in the list enquiry you say you have 1850, so not sure if you have this for 1850 already, but will include it, in case: 1850 Polk County, Monroe Co, IN Census; entry 931/931; pg 365: John F. Walker; 38y; farmer; $30 value; KY Sarah; 32y; IN William; 10y; IN; attended school John W; 8y; IN George W; 5y; IN James 3y; IN Rachel C; 1y; IN David F. Gray; 2y; farmer; $800; IN (obviously age is entered wrong) William Gray; 18y; farmer; IN 1860 census - they are not in Polk Twp, Monroe County census - no Greens or Walkers in that census. 1860 Monroe County, Bloomington Twp; entry 220/220; pge 706,707: Jno. F. Walker; 46y; Printer; $600 land/$75 personal; KY Sarah Walker; 42y; IN Wm. G Walker; 20y; Printer; IN John W. Walker; 18y; Carpenter; IN; attended school in last yr Geo. W.
