Thank you, that is so neat, exactly what I wanted. I appreciate your time and effort. Mathew and Roseanna were my g-g-grandparents. I recognize some of the names. The 4 yr. old Lucretia in the 1850 Census married Thomas Jefferson Gordon, possibly around 1865. They were my gr. grandparents, and settled in the Iowa, Louisiana area, a place called Hecker, about 20 miles north-east of Lake Charles, LA. where my grandfather, William Cornelius Gordon, was born and raised. William Gordon married Laura Marcantel of Phillips Bluff near Kinder, LA. The Ozra Bushnell, age 9 (male) in 1860 Census is Ezra Bushnell who settled in the Indian Village area, LA, area and married Virginia Nevils. There are many descendants living in the area as of today. Now if only I can find Thomas Jefferson Gordon! He appears on the 1870 Calcasieu Parish Census as H/H with his family. Before that I have no clue on him. Maybe someone out there can help me with him. Thanks, Ethel.

I will put him on my list for tomorrow, Ethel.

Can someone do a look-up for the above name . Matthew Hackman/Packman died in 1902 in Welsh, LA and his wife, Rebecca died in 1910. Supposed to be buried in a Welsh Cemetery. They may be on the 1900 census or perhaps the 1880. Thank you. Ethel.

Need a look-up for Mathew Hackworth married to Rebecca? They both died in Jeff Davis Parish, LA (he-1902 & she-1910). Supposed to be buried in Welsh, LA. Thank you. Ethel.
