Hi, I’m looking for information on the Clement Ayers family who lived in Ironton, Ohio during the 1860 census. Here is the information I have: In the 1850 census: Clement Ayres aged 21 Forgeman Salome aged 22 Martha Jane aged 1 All three are listed as being born in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the copy of this page of the census I have, has the County and Township cut off, but I am very certain that it was Martic Township in Lancaster County. In the 1860 census (Village of Ironton, County of Lawrence, State of Ohio), the follow are listed: C. B. (?). Ayres aged 32 Forgeman Silome (?) aged 30 Martha J aged 11 Geo M aged 8 John aged 6 Maryanne aged 4 Clement aged 1 In this one, only the father’s birthplace is listed as Pennsylvania. The mother and all of the children are listed as being born in Maryland. I have only been able to find John and the younger Clement in the 1870 census. At that point, John is living in East Earl, Lancaster County, PA working as a farm hand and a 12 year old Clement Ayres living with a John and Ella Rutter in Cecil County, MD. Apparently, somewhere between 1860 and 1870, the family broke apart. Clement Ayers Sr. served 3 months in the Ohio 18th infantry in 1861, but I have no idea what happened to him after he mustered out in late August of 1861. I have never been to Ohio. Is there any useful suggestions people can give me? Thanks, Kristine Elliott
