Francis Babb, son of William M. Babb and Temperance Shipman was born ca 1831 in Cape Girardeau Co. (probably the part that is now Stoddard County). Francis married Nancy Adaline Cline ca 1849 in Stoddard Co. and in the 1850 census they have a son William. I am unable to find them in the 1860 census. Anyhow, according the Stoddard Grays book, Francis joined as a private in Company B of the 4th MO Cavalry CSA and was reported on 1 Oct 1863 that he had been absent sick since Nov 1862. I presume he died between then and 23 Jan 1870 when Nancy married Sheriff White. The war service shows that Francis was alive in 1860 so I should be able to find a census record. So, my question is, "Where were Francis and Nancy Babb in 1860?"
