I too would be interested in knowing if there is a census for 1840. I am looking for a James McLINDSAY who was 15 and living with a BREWER family in Franklin County. I don't know why he was with them, where his family was from or where he went to by 1860. I would be happy to share any information that I have on the BREWER family, because in my looking for James McLINDSAY, I have found so much on the BREWER family. I am looking forward to hearing from some of you. Vicki McLINDSAY
