Thanks so much, Amy. I appreciate any help. I am researching my husband's Woodruff line, and am having a problem with his wife; Catherine Myers. They were both born in OH, but ran away to get married in KY, as she was so young. They show up on the 1880 census, but am trying to find information on her parents in the OH 1970 census. A lot of my information comes from my husband's elderly mother, so maybe not too accurate. Thanks again, will keep trying.
