I have found my Nashes and Browns thanks to Mabel Philllips! Here is what she has...does this match with the other Nash families? Please let me know! <<There's a six-year old Jane Nash, niece, in the 1880 Linden Township, Household 158 of George and Elizabeth Nash. That would have made her 17 in 1891. Nash, George w m 56 mar farmer TN ,. Elizabeth w f 47 wife mar MO , William w m son single farm labor MO , James M.w m 15 son single farm labor MO , Sarah w f 18 dau single MO , Lotta w f 14 dau single MO , America w f 3 dau single MO , Jane w f 6 niece single MO She wasn't listed with them or in any other Christian County household on the 1876 agricultural census. Since this appears to be your family on the 1900 census, that could be the right person. MO Christian Sparta 244 John W. BROWNE W M Head Jul 1871 28 M 8 KY KY KY Farmer Polaska J.

Yippeee! I am so happy to have found them! :-) Kim Tallie
