Marti I recently found a transcription of 1860 and 1870 Crawford Co. MO census, and it possibly could be the family you are looking for. 1860 Crawford Co., Benton Township Samuel Burkley 33 b. PA Araminta 33 b. PA John M. 9 b. PA James H. 7 b. PA Henry F. 4 b. PA Elizabeth 2 b. PA 1870 Crawford Co., Benton Township Sam Burley 44 b. PA Arminta 43 b. PA John M. 19 b. PA James A. 17 b. PA Henry F. 14 b. MO Elizabeth 12 b. MO Oream 9 b. MO (female) Samuel B. 6 b. MO Clara A. 4 b. MO Laura 3 b. MO 1870 Crawford Co., Knob View Township James Burley 39 b. PA Sarah 42 b. PA Mary A. 16 b. PA Lizzie 12 b. MO Henry 8 b. MO Wilson, John 11 b. MO Taylor, Frank 21 b. IL These people may not be Byerlys, but the name is so often distorted. My great aunt married a John Byerly, and everybody in the family pronounced it Barley. Hope this helps somebody. Jewell --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
