    2. wow oh wow!!!! this is really gettting good!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for looking up my family on the census!!!!! This is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it is making more and more sense! Ok, so now I know John DEEDZ/DEEDS was in Upper Providence TWp, Montgomery Co in 1850. Now in 1860 he was in Stonersville, Exeter TWp. This makes sense since my Nanny TOBIAS (Grandmother) always said he died in 1862 in Exeter TWp. when a tree he was chopping down fell on him crushing his skull. I know about where Stonersville is having gone some of my school days to Exeter School District. This is intersting that Deborah/Debra was listed as insane in 1860 already before her husband died. We were thinking with the hunting accident with her sons and her husband's death it put her over the edge, but it happened before his death. hmmmm. but John keeps getting listed as a cooper which I know to be one who works with wood making barrels, etc. My Nanny always said he was a charcoal maker. Interesting. I wonder where everyone went after John's death in 1862??? Deborah we know died in 1884 in the Poor House in Shillington, Berks Co. I know in 1880 Albert, my ancestor lived in Muhlenberg Twp, Berks Co. I won't need the partial copy of the page of the 1860 census unless you want to send it. What you sent me is sufficient. I'm just so grateful for the info!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One thing I noticed is John and Deborah had a daughter Ellen who is not listed on the 1860 census. Not sure when she was born or died. There is another researcher working on the DEEDS. She is the one who gave me the info on the 1850 & 1880 census. We're trying to connect her & my DEEDS together. I'm sending her this info!!!!! Thanks for the 1840 indexed list. You mentionedyou could look at the pages to give me the male/female age/body count. If you could do that I'd appreciate it so much. This may help me narrow down my family!!!!!! I thought it interesting a John DEEDS was in Chester Co!!!!! WE were alwasy told Albert, John's son was born in Chester Co. This may also help me to find the possibilities on whom could be John's father!!!!!! Now to figure on where these various townships are in Montgomery Co. The other researcher was going to try to get that info to me! Thank you so very very very much for all your wonderful help!! I really appreciate it Grace and Linda too!!!!!! plus any others who may have help or will help!!!!!!! Crystal
