But I went through the 1860 and 1870 census and wrote these names down that were born in 1850's and 1860's. This of course doesn't mean they were born here in Madison Co, just born in Ohio: Kilbourne 1852 James 1854 Howard 1851 Abbas 1858 James 1856 Caroline 1856 Martia 1852 Carrie 1860 Minnie 1868 Charles 1855 Pearl 1868 Charles 1867 Sarah 1853 Edward 1866 Silas 1863 Elden 1855 Frank 1857 Ellen 1851 Lelia 1856 Elmer 1861 Martha 1867 Frank 1857 Mary 1854 George 1868 Parley 1859 Grant 1866 Reynolds 1854 H.
