Sharon, I noticed in your tagline that you are working on the Putnam County Day family. I'm descended from the following day family: Thomas Day, b. abt 1800 in (possibly) KY, married Mary, b. abt 1801 in (possibly) OH. They were in Marion County, IN for the 1850 & 1860 census, but had moved to Putnam County by 1880, when they were living with their son-in-law, James Ruark. They had the following 3 kids, probably more: James Day - b. abt 1832 in KY(?) - I'm just guessing James is a son. He was living with Mary and James Ruark in 1850. Mary Eveline Day - b. 1833 in Indianapolis, d. bef 1880. She married James Madison Ruark in 1852 in Marion Co, IN Elisha M. Day - b. abt 1837 in Indiana. Living with his parents in 1850. Sharon, I hope you (or anyone else out there) recognize this family. Due to the common name, I haven't had much luck tracing them earlier than 1850. Thanks! Jim Phelps
