Linda, Pardon my TV lingo, but just like a CSI investigator, I go where the evidence takes me. And right now census evidence is taking me on this lineage path. (See immediately below.) If you can prove this path is erroneous, I will gladly change my database. Just present your case on this board for all to evaluate.

Goff: !1900 Census of Kentucky, Butler Co, Fleenerville, ED 31, sheet 4 (stamped 250), stop 68. Residing next door at stop 67 is Robert's father-in-law, William Howard. !1910 Census of Kentucky, Butler Co, Magisterial District 5, ED 39, sheet 2 (stamped 261), stop 41. For your information, whenever my information is challenged, I simply add some words to that effect into my notes and move on. I often use wording that goes something like this, "Mr. Smith has challenged my information on Zebulon Ashby. He believes Zeb is not the son of Ezekial Ashby 1812 - 1878. Instead he believes Zeb is the son of Thaddeus S. Ashby 1815 - 1900." Barry Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
