Hello Mary Jane - How are things in Fredericksburg? Rainy? Thank you for responding. Other than finding Rufus and Clarissa LOVE in New Haven in 1830 and in Norwalk in 1840, I have been unable to locate them in the census indexes for 1850 or 60 or 70, in OH. I've checked 1850-70 for MI and IN and Iowa also with no results. So even my best educated guess is sheer ignorance! The OH or MI indexes for 1850 and 60 also don't list an appropriate Jared and Elmira. I guess at this point I'm down to hoping someone recognizes them.
