Just trying to be helpful. In the 1870 census for Indiana, Johnson county, Franklin township, page 44, there was a family headed by George Toothman, 45, farmer, and included Rhoda, 45, keeping house, - Sarah, 23, without occupation, - Minervia, 19, at home, - John W, 17, at home, - Mary, 15, - James, 12, - Rachel, 9, and Heneretta, 4. All born in Ind except James who was born in Missouri. Unfortunately no family relationships were shown in any census until 1880. Hope this helps. Don

Jim, I too checked every page in the 1860c for Hanover, and Van Buren twps, but I did not find my family. They would be Alfred/Alford Stone and Lucinda, his wf. Lucinda should be in her late 50s, at least. There is another Lucinda Stone in Shelby, but she is younger than mine.

Jill, In Union Township of Rush County, there is a Harvey Arnold listed with wife Grace, no son listed tho. This Harvey was born in Arkansas. Other hints about the 1920 census... the index is only a Head of Household index. If your grandfather was livinfg in the household of a family member, he would not have been put in the index. The exceptions to this are people living in households of non-relatives, they were included in the index. I would suggest looking for the parents of both William and Grace to see if they were living with them. Also, look at the siblings and grandparents. Hope this helps you. Susan Jknitl@aol.com wrote: I've tried everything possible, all combinations, even went page by page through all of Hanover Twp in Shelby and Posey Twp in Rush, even part of Center Twp, and it's just not there. Something kind of sad I thought about, my dad had a sister born in September of 1920. Had the family been in the census she still wouldn't have been listed. She died in 1925, long before the 1930 census. So, she never was even counted. I'll bet there are lots of instances like this.

On Ancestry, go to the Census Search page and scroll down to 1920 census and click on that. Then you pick a state, then a county, then a twp. This one was easy because I already knew it was page 2B, from finding it on the Godfrey Library page. . . James R.
