Louise, I sent the mess. below directly to DFGM43A@prodigy.com and it bounced. CW Thanks, Louise, for the response. I had noticed an unusual amount of typhoid deaths in some of mountain counties, but since my DOHERTYs died after the 1860 census hadn't thought to check there. BTW, my mother/father met in the typhoid ward at Lees-McCrae College in 1933. I guess the epidemic in the pre-census months of 1859-60 could have carried over into spring 1861, but that's generally flu epidemic time. Oh, just idle speculation... Thanks again.
