Dear Kentucky cousins, I finally got around to reading parts of the NGS [National Genealogical Society] Newsmagazine for Sept/Oct 2003. There is an article entitled #12--the 1840 Census of Pensioners by Bryon C. Bray, Albany, Oregon. (I must have missed the first 11 articles/lessons.) One of the illustrations lists a URL for 1840 pensioners living in Kentucky. The URL is LONG [if rootsweb wraps the URL in punctuation marks, such as underlines or parens, remove those marks before pasting in your search blank. Hang on: _http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/colonial/census/1840/1840ky_il.html_ (http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/colonial/census/1840/1840ky_il.html) There is an index [not every name but groups of names]. At the bottom of one of the screens, I noticed there was a link to the images of the census. Since I did not find the bloke I was looking for [I think he had died before 1840], I did not follow through on that. The table gives the age. I saw a Harris male in Madison Co., KY, but I did not recognize him as one of my group of Harrises. There was a Gentry male, whose family married into *my* Harris family. Good luck in all your searches. E.W.Wallace ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
