Thanks Joel and Jinks--know you guys will always come thru. Austin was my suspicion, but no proof, so I asked... What I had was an 1850 census abstract--and it most likely did indeed read Justin vice Austin in the book! We've all seen some dreadful handwriting and many out and out mistakes, so ya gotta check. Appreciate the help and Merry Christmas to all PATE listers!
