I recently ordered the microfilm copy of the 1870 Pike County census. However, over half of the pages were unreadable--many nearly blank. Because of this, I never did find the one individual I was most interested in locating-- John Morgan Slone/Sloan. He should have been about 5 years old and I believe his mother's name was Bethany or Bethina or something similar. Does anyone have a better copy that they could look for him? We've been searching for poor John for about 5 years and have been unable to find him a father. Thanks for your help.
