Dear Bob, Thank you for letting me know about the 1876 Special Census taken in Mo. this may be of some great help to me. In your answer you stated that finding the marriage of Susan Bean and Stephen GOODALE had taken place in 1874. Would you mind sharing the source for that marriage with me? Was any other information listed on the marriage? I think that Susan BEAN was most likely daughter of Baxter Bean and elder sister to Thomas BEAN. Thanks again, Marie -----Original Message----- From: Bob Call [mailto:r_d_call@hotmail.com] Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 8:23 AM To: MOHOLT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOHOLT] BEAN Family, Susan Bean marries Stephen GOODALE 1873 >In 1880 I find Stephen A.

Hi, The index listing on the 1880 census is wrong, the actual page shows W(hite) M(ale) and the transcriber listed it as married. He is a 28 year old house carpenter and listed as born IN with both parents born VT. This is the only Stephen Goodale in MO but there are 12 others. Found his marriage to Susan listed as 1874. You might repost the message with a subject of "1876 Special Census Request" as I know someone on this list does lookups in that census. Bob
