Looking for information on father and surname of mother. She was age 15 on 1850 Luzerne Co. census, in household with mother, Margaret, and step-father, Edward Thomas. By 1860 she was married to Sidney Saums. Margaret was deceased by then. Sidney and Roseann and children moved to Lawrence Co IL shortly after 1870. Also Sidney's brothers, John and George Saums and families also moved there. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I am looking for information on Silsbees in Luzerne at 1800 or earlier. I found Elijah and Reuben Silsbee in the 1790 and 1800 census. Reuben is a common family name (in each generation) but I am trying to link either of these to our confirmed ancester, Abigail. Also, I found a relative of Nathaniel Giddings who married a Mary Silsbee (widow of a Silsbee) and then a Lucinda Silsbee (another common family name). My direct line of Silsbees left Luzerne in 1830's but I have seen many other family names on censuses (Benjamin and David). Any information, even remote, is greatly appreciated.

Where in Luzerne did you find her in 1850? Look in the 1830 and 1850 Census for Dulls in Luzerne and surrnounding counties. Any families that gain a daughter betwen 1830 and 1840 are probably hers. I trust you have already looked in FamilySearch and rootsweb WorldConnect. bob gillis Emandrwm@aol.com wrote: >Looking for information on father and surname of mother.
