So all this added with what you are saying convinces me and I will change my record on Malinda's name. I do have a lot on the Giesler family - William Giesler a son of Jacob S. Giesler who was brother of my grgrgrandfather John Giesler Jr.who m. Elizabeth Loudermilk. There are other Airhart, Erhart etc. connections also - Nancy Ann Giesler, (sister of Jacob S. & John Jr.)married Martin Gray and they moved to Howell Co., MO coincidentally and are there in 1870. Their son Jacob m. Mariah Airhart who is believed to be dau of Michael Airhart (sp?) of Miller Co., MO. I do see on the 1860 Census of Maries Co. household #690 there is H. Barnes 24 b. IN and wife Nancy 22 b. TN. I'm guessing this is the couple you mean. I did not have that marriage. I know that Jacob S. Giesler's dau Nancy is gone from his household on the 1860 census and this could be her if you have that marriage it would fit. I'll go play with that and see what I find. Thanks for the clue :) Pam Smith Dallas, OR Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
