Hi Laurel! Your puzzle re: the 1850 census in Perry Twp. made me open up my 1860 census and look for Neighbarger. In the household of Sanford and Tabitha Priest I find Agnes Neibarger (sic), age 24, b. OH, several more Priests and Amanda Neibarger, age 9., b. OH and Lanford O. Neibarger, age 4, prob. male and b. OH. I know you said that your family moved away before this time, but evidently some remained. I have no idea of their connection to the Priests.... Hope this helps - and doesn't give you another puzzle!
