Hi! I have a look-up from a very kind researcher for 1870 Monroe Co., OH. I wonder if someone would have the time to look up the 1860 census for me. I am researching Arey/Airy Johnston. In 1870 the census showed her to be in Franklin Township, Monroe Co., OH. She was born approx. 1824. She had a son named Benjamin b. c. 1862. She was listed as widowed. If she had any other children, it was not shown. I would like very much to know if she was on the same farm in 1860 and if so, who lived there with her. Her son was born in 1862 so would not be born yet. I don't know if she had any other children nor what her husband's name was. In 1870 she was shown as head of household. Her son was born c. 1862 so would not be born yet. Were there any other children? Was there a husband's name? Was she at this farm? If it happened to show her parents' birthplace That also would be wonderful. It could be that her husband was killed in the Civil War or died after 1862. It could possibly be that it would be listed in his name with her as his wife. The 1860 census would not give as much information as later, but perhaps it will give something that I don't have. I hope I can find her before 1850. Thank you for anything you could do. It would be greatly appreciated. Sandy **************Start the year off right.
