You ask for a lookup in 1850 was he born or married near that time? Beverlee Hi I now know I did the request wrong. I did receive an answer from User392423 with VA census information. In 1850 Charles HALES was in Loudoun County VA and was age 20. He married an Ann E. ? before 1860 as there are children beginning with age 6 in the 1860 VA Loudoun County census. In 1870 Ann E and children are in Ohio and there is no Charles listed as husband. So I am assuming he may have died before 1870 (the youngest child listed is age 2.) Any other information that can be given is most greatly appreciated. I hope this has answered your questions. Thanks in advance for your time. Joan/Ohio
