Charlotte: Since I am looking to see where the STARKEYs came from, I thought I might just as well type up the census information. The following information is from the 1860 Belmont County Census: WAYNE TWP. 1572-1505 Berrie STARKEY 28 OH Farmer Catharine 26 OH Lydia 1 OH 1571-1504 Hezekiah LUNDY 53 VA Keziah 50 NC Sarah J.

Here are the results: YORK TWP. 128-134 Isaac STARKEY 26 M Blacksmith $300 OH Rebecca 26 F OH Sarah 4 F OH PEASE TWP. 1132-1149 John STARKEY 60 M Farmer $600 VA Mary 55 F VA Elizabeth 21 F OH Mary Yost 11 F OH _________________________________ What good is the 1850 and 1860 census without the 1870? Since I have it and it's a nice cool morning here in MI, I decided to do lookups for STARKEY there, too. That way, you should be able to associate the marriages I sent you before, with the families.

I just received information from the 1900 census of Ritchie Co., WV that listed Mary Jane Starkey's parents as born in MD (Maryland). Would you check to see if any of these Belmont Co.
