Hi Deanna I imagine you have seen that David is living with the Emerson Cross family in 1860, in Johnsburg? I know this is not absolute help, but he is still with this family in 1870, which is curious... It's as close as I can get, for now. Best of luck John ps - I have saved the 1860 image, just in case you want it - let me know.

Hi John; Yes, it is curious indeed, all I can think about is his mother died when he was very young and he's with a relative of some sort. I seen in my other lines that when a child loses his or her mother at a very young age, a relative takes the child in. Or another twist is his father died when he was young and his mother remarried. Longs I have his death date now and where he died, the only way I'm going to settle this puzzle is try for his death certificate. Thanks a lot for the information.
