Hello Jane, I believe the friendly people on this list provided me info on the 1810 census and even sent me a disk with the entire Fayette County biographies on it. I don't think I have seen the 1880 census however. James and Rachel were married in 1804 so if he's listed it could be as a boarder or as just a head of a one or two person household. Does anyone on this list know how I can attain copies of Alien registration cards or tax and land records? I would be interested in the address of the office which holds these records. I do NOT want to go tothe Mormon church for these records since they have their genealogy program so they can find dead people to baptise into their church. Sounds odd yes but this is the truth. So I will not contribute money to this. --Andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane McCann Walsh" <jmwalsh@icubed.com> To: <PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 2:32 PM Subject: Re: [PAFAY] Owen Davis descendants > At 12:54 PM 1/19/2004 -0500, you wrote: > >My Rachel Davis, as far as I can prove, was born in PA 11 May 1786.
