Just where was the family living during the 1850 census? What kids show up in that census? The David-Amy family I am looking at in the 1850 census, is in the southern division of Davidson Co, NC. Shows David as 55, Amy as 50/51, with Jesse 20 and Ephraim 12. If David Hoover-Amy Vestal is *not* this couple, then I need to scratch them off my list of interesting possibles. I suspect that I may be looking at a different David with a different wife Amy..... Any help with the 1850 census for the *known* David Hoover-Amy Vestal marriage would help tremendously. Even letting me eliminate them would keep me from chasing herrings. Thanks, Linda
