Henry Jr. was the half-brother of the subject of my search, Lorintha's daughter Estella Meekins (who married Charles Moore; his first wife was Harriet Brown). Below is Lorintha in 1850. I could NOT find her in 1860. You say Brecksville? Can you find son Henry on Ancestry.com? I believe Lorintha is buried in Blain Cemetery in Gaines Twp. 1850 United States Federal Census Name: Samantha Milkins [Lorintha Meekins] Age: 36 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1814 Birth Place: Ohio Gender: Female Home in 1850, Brecksville, Cuyahoga, Ohio Family Number: 2719 Household Members: Noah Jones 73 [father] Ruth Jones 62 [possibly a step mother] Samantha Milkins 36 Jshtta Milkins 10/12, b.
