Thanks so much for the responses.? I'm trying to figure out why the name Keziah is listed with my gggrandparents in that 1850 census when I know their daughter's name was Catherine Anne (same age, etc).? They do not sound alike so the census taker couldn't have misunderstood.? Oh, well...that's the beauty and mystery of family genealogy!

It was one of those names that suddenly became popular in the mid-1800s, like "Phares" for men.
