Jim: Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I'm not sure the answer to your question but will give you what census information I have on William and Elinder. See below: ====================== 1821 Lexington District, South Carolina 1834 Montgomery Co., Alabama 1840 Butler Co., Alabama 1850 Geneva, Coffee Co., Alabama, age 58 1860 Only Elinder is found in the Walton Co., Florida Census along with several of their children. They may have been married as early as 1818 because I am only estimating the age of some of the children as I do not have exact dates. ======================= Do you see any connections? > > << 1 William Laird Born: Abt. 1792 in South Carolina Died: > Bef. 1855 > in Alabama > . +Elinder Laird Born: Abt. 1804 in South Carolina Married: > Abt. 1824 > in Alabama>> > > Where in AL did william Die and Elinder marry? >
