RESPONSE: Hello, On the 1880 Clay Co. Fed. Census, Daniel and Mary Ann COPE LEWIS appear as follows: Dwelling 135-136 LEWIS, Daniel, 25, b. VA; father b. KY; mother b. VA . .Mary Ann, 25, wife, b. KY; parents b. KY . .James, 5, son, b. KY . . Sarah M., 3, dau, b. KY . .Nancy, 7 months, dau (b. Oct.), b. KY NOTE: I see NO marriage in Clay Co. on my Clay Co. Marriage Indexes. On my annotated 1880 Clay Co. by Mr. James WELCH, he indicates a reference to Daniel LEWIS in the 1860 Harlan Co., KY Fed. Census. However, I don't see him there. On the 1870 Clay Co., there is this Daniel LEWIS listed. It does seem this is the family that he has been linked to; however, I have no proof of that one way or the other: Dwelling 106 LEWIS, Hiram, 67, b. Va - farmer . .Lucinda, 60, housekeeper . .Hiram, 21 - work on farm . .Israel, 18, - work on farm . .Daniel, 16 - work on farm . .Mary, 14 - at home NOTE: This family of Hiram LEWIS was on the 1850 and 1860 Harlan Co. Fed. Census. Interestingly though, it appears for one reason or the other, Daniel was not listed on the 1860 Harlan Co. which appears as follows: Dwelling 18-18 LEWIS, Hiram, 57, b. Va . .Lucinder, 50, b. KY . .Nancy, 18, b. KY . .Hiram, 10, b. KY . .Israel, 8, b. KY . .Mary, 4, b. KY On the 1850 in Harlan Co. the annotated census by DUNHAM states as follows: Dwelling 3952 - 3960 LEWIS, Hiram, 47, b. VA . .Lucinda, 40, b. SC (dau. of William JENKINS & Elizabeth ROARK) . .Elizabeth, 19, b. KY (mar. 1853 to Ambrose METCALF) . .Jesse, 17, b. KY (mar. 1854 to Nancy TURNER) . .James, 15, b. KY (mar. Lucy?? SMITH) . .Abner, 13, b. KY (mar. Cynthia) . .Eleanor, 10, (d. 1857 in HC KY) . .Nancy, 8, b. KY (mar. 1861 to John Calvin HOWARD) . . Hiram, 1, b. KY (mar. Easter, dau of Charles ROBINSON and Catherine) On the 1870 Clay Co., this is "probably" the Mary Ann COPE who he married: Dwelling 129 COPE, Sally, 45, b. VA (Sallie BREWSTER mar. 3-24-1850 in Harlan Co. to John CoPE) . .Mary, 18, at home * * * . .Martha, 16 - at home . .Jacob, 14 - work on farm . .John, 12 - work on farm . .Albert, 9 NOTE: Sally doesn't appear to be around by the time of the 1880 although several of her children remain in Clay Co. on the 1880 Fed. Census.
