Surnames: DOUGLASS, OGLESBY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GZB.2ACI/1013.1 Message Board Post: Someone on the mailing list where this message board is forwarded asked the following question: ---------------- You did not give a village/township for Alexander. Can you be more specific? There are Douglas, Kious, Stone and Johnson families in Pleasant Twp, esp,between Kiousville and Mt. Sterling. Ann Newsom ---------------------- I will answer here so that it is posted in both places. Alexander and Mahala Duglass [sic] were living in Pleasant Township for the 1850 census, in the same household as the Samuel Oglesby family. They were not a separate household in Madison County for the 1840 census, but they may have been living within someone else's household, or they may have been the Alexander Douglas family found in Jefferson Township, Fayette County, Ohio. By 1860 Alexander has died and Mahala is found again in Pleasant Township with one of her daughters. The rest of the children apparently sent to live/work with other families. Living next door to Mahala is Rosanna Douglass, whose relationship to Alexander is unknown. Does this help place the family, so that you might provide some additional information? Thanks
