If you click on the Search Records at the top of the page and when that page appears put in the name of the person you are looking for, indicate you want to search in the US and which state and then at the bottom of the page put in 1860 for the time period and then choose census records to search and most of the time it will give you the information. You will still have to search that record yourself but at least you will have a starting point. Also sometime you will want to use the soundex option. Good hunting. Don

That was fast. You must have better access to the census or something than I do.I have been waiting for Ancestry.com to index the 1860 census as they have promised each time the want me to subcribe for another year. I think you have found Reuben's wife. I would espect her to be older and I expected to find 2 year old Rubin or Reuben James Bumpus with her. Also missing are Reuben's other children, Frederick 27, William 23, Samuel 10 and Arney or Korey 12. I suppose Reuben died. We have a history of high blood pressure in the family that if unchecked will kill in the late 50's. Reuben would be 60 in 1860. As for Joseph Bumpus, Reuben had a son, Frederick in 1833 but didn't marry Jane Wells until 1835. I make the assumption he was married earlier than 1835 and had more children that Frederick. He was 26 when Frederick was born in Ohio. I think Reuben was in Ohio in 1826. Any way, thank you very much. I'll see what I can make of it. Marlow

Jane must have died, as Reuben married Pricilla Colby in 1853. Then I loose them except for Samuel who was working on the NJ Hunt farm in Nettle Creek twp, RANDOLPH CO., IN. I know from the Widows Pension Application filed on behalf of Samuels widow Mary in 1885 that Samuel went to school in Randolph Co. so I expected to find the family there. I can find no evidence of Reuben Bumpus or Pricilla in the county in the 1860 census. Samuel's son lived with a 1/2 brother of Samuel he knew as Uncle James Bumpus who is probably Ruben James Bumpus living in Holt Co., MO., just a few miles from where Samuel lived, after Samuel died in 1885. I expect James to be a son of Pricilla and Reuben. Can anyone help with this riddle? Should I be looking for a Wells or Colby family in order to determin what happened to Reuben Bumpus and family?

Does anyone know anything about how the WPA program was administered? Did they hire workers in the area where the worker lived, or did they hire them and send them where there was work to be done? I'm trying to figure out how one of my ancestors ended up in Iowa when he'd lived all of his life in Indiana...and I know that he was working for the WPA in the state of Iowa in the 1930s. I'm just wondering if he had another reason for making the move, or if he might have been sent to a different state because he was employed by the WPA at the time????
