If it helps at all, I have family who ended up in York Co., Nebraska by 1873. They were from Nauvoo, Adams Co., OH and Pike Co., OH. If you have to resort to looking at Ohio census to find them, you might try in these two counties... who knows? Sure seems like folks traveled long distances together (family, neighbors) around this time frame. Good luck, Laura
