I lost my FTM file which has caused me to go back and check all of the notes left by my mother. There is a barely readable note: Rachel could be a Melton or Milton on a scrap piece of paper, no other info. there. The father of Rachel Lawson should be Berry or Barry Lawson but could not find him in the 1880 census. Would you check to see if a Melton or Milton, with a wife named Vestie/Vesty has a daughter named Rachel, age 4 in the 1880 Knox CO. census? I appreciate your help. Thanks again....
