    3. I am back on the list after a lengthy time away. My interest is the family of Baseleel (basel) Burton and Mary Marshall. They were married in Cambridge, Guernsay Co. Ohio 24 Aug 1822. I have not been successful in getting other information about this union, for one, LDS doesn't list census for Cambridge or Guernsay for 1830, 1840, 1850. As we live in BC Canada we don't have access to US National Archives to be able to read them there. Can anyone advise me on this subject? Their son David (our grandfather)was a Volunteer in the Civil War, he enlisted in Elkhart, Indiana. Again, can anyone suggest a reason for David having enlisted so far away from his birth place, was there some large migration of people from Cambridge, Ohio to Indiana. It seems like a long way between places. There has been some suggestion that Baseleel may have been employed with a Railroad, could this mean that they moved to different areas of the country?
