    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HKB.2ACI/573.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Joy, Yesterday was really my first day out starting to track folks. What I found was C.L. Barnard (age 40, b. VI), Lucy E.(age 29 b. MS),Annie C. (age 2, b.TN), & Robert (age 9, b.MS) on the 1870 census for Marshall County, MS. If I remember right, I looked on the 1880 or 1890 census and got confused because instead of Robert they had what appeared to be a "B" for an initial, but Charles and Lucy were there. I looked at the 1880/1890 first then went back to the 1870 thinking that the Charles and Lucy were not the ones. Now I'm thinking they were and it was either written wrong or the R was just real fancy and the leg curled under making it look like a B. I'll have to go back and recheck to see if ages and everything else matches. As far as burials. No, nothing yet. I know that the son of C.L. & Lucy was buried at Elmwood...found them. Looked for C.L. and Lucy there in the register and did not find. According to my Grandfathers notes and the legal papers you sent me, it ! appears they had moved from Byhalia (Marshall Co) to Memphis area when Robert was a child. So, I'll do some additional research on cemetaries in Memphis. I also checked the newspaper for Obituaries hoping to find where he was laid to rest but had no luck. I could have missed it so, I'll probably double back & check again. At the same time, I'll look for the Weavers. I had the same thought that where one is, maybe the others are. Thanks again for your info. Paul
