With the one above, you have either solved a family mystery or created one, I'm not sure which. I have an Elija S. HOSKINS born to Sarah Margaret (Wise) Hoskins on 11/10/1852 in Marion Co KY Now of course I can't find it, but somewhere I am pretty sure I saw a census record that showed this same Elija S. as a female. To me, your birth record would indicate that Elija was probably really Eliza! -- No wonder no one has found further records of Elija! Are you looking at microfilm of original records? (Sounds like you are) Could the Relise? after Sarah M. be Wise? Why wouldn't her husbands name be listed? He was still alive in 1853. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Ann Hoskins-Brown
