Don, Thanks for your response. I still needed to find David SOUDERS in 1870, and thanks to your posting, I just received a message from someone that can help us both. What is your family name? Here is my family in 1880, were we still neighbors then? Diana Portland, Or. [email protected] 1880 Census of Shelby Co, OH; Loramie Twp., page 153D.
