Thanks for any help. >>>>>>>> Dear Jane, No where in your subject line or in the message itself do you mention a surname!!!! There are a number of us researching Guilford Co and I have a great deal of information about the time from 1770 until 1900. I have the 1850 and 1860 census, as well as the 1800 and 1810. My wife's family also came from Guilford Co, so we have a double interest and double information. However, there is no way we can help you if you do not tell us the surnames.
