Surnames: WATERS, WHITE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XBB.2ACE/1571.1.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Elizabeth, Below shows only two heads of households in 1840 Russell Co,KY. Nothing for WATERS before those years. ( see below ) What I would do if I was you, and have done is find out who all the children of Thomas WATERS married and post about them everywhere. When I do my lines I try to find everyone who connects to them and between what info others have and kindness of others who helped me is how I know what I do know today. And also post about your Elizabeth Polly WHITE. ( see below ) 1840 United States Federal Census Below only shows the heads of the household and there are two WATERS in 1840 Russell County, KY. On that USGen search web site you can go and see the ages inside the household because census before 1850 do not show any names.
