Hi there Listers! I am in desperate need of some help! I have tracked my ggg grandfather McCoy Dyson (1834-???)to Boeuf Township in the 1880 Census, with his wife Nancy and five children, and then he disappears. However, I found his son George in the 1900 Census, listed as a widow with four children (Lewis, William, Dolly and Cora) still living in Boeuf. I then found George Dyson again in the 1920 Census STILL living in New Haven at age 56. I also know that McCoy's daughter Mary Dyson Mason (husband Moses Mason) (1859-1961) lived all of her life in New Haven. I cannot find death dates, marriage records, etc. I am interested in the 1860 Census, any info on 1890 that can be found, & 1910 Census of Franklin County -- particularly Bouef Township. I'm trying to piece together this family. I say all of this to say how is it that they all stayed in the same area, yet records on these people are so sporadic. I have already paid a researcher to do preliminary work and this is how I've come to have the information that I do. I am stationed overseas. and would welcome any additional help from anyone who has census or any other info for that matter on these individuals. I would like to find out who the mother of George's children was. Thanks for your time! Le'Royce
