The following is a portion of a letter I received some time ago. According to the letter, 2 brothers and one sister were orphaned and “put out into homes”. Could it be that they were sent to the children’s home? I have not been able to verify any of the dates in this account but my gg-father, Frank Eubanks is listed in the 1880 and 1900 census in Adams County, OH and his wife and children match those listed below. According to the census, his parents were born in VA, but I do not have their names or any other information about them. I would appreciate any help in finding any other records of this family. Bob Eubanks Leesburg, FL The following is a portion of that letter: Walker Eubanks, b.Aug. 14, 1838 in Mason Co. KY, married Catherine Eliz.
