There would be no organized birth records for that time period. The Census didn't record anything but the head of household that early. I can't find amy family history for Smalleys so there's nothing here I can use to try and find hi parents. Sorry Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Found the county home, but there are no children listed, only adults. and nothing else other than families in Chartiers. It's mind boggling to me that I can't find any of these 6 children in 1930... they were ages 2 to 11. you would think at least 1 of them would show up somewhere.

I guess i will look through all surrounding counties...I wonder if it's possible they were in Ohio, or West Virginia since they were so close to the state line?

The family was from Brownsville originally I believe. My Great-grandmother and the other children died in a flu outbreak and Great-grandfather couldn't take care of the other 2 boys.

I don't know what district the Children's home was in. Other than going thru each page for the city of Washington, I don't know what else to suggest. Possibly another lister reading this will know a location of the home. Sometimes it takes sitting all day and reading thru all the pages of the census to locate someone. Have you tried searching for ONLY the surname of the children. Everyone in the home would have been listed , so IF they were in Washington co., you should be able to locate them by a surname search, and browse thru the results.

It mentions Christena(Henry's daughter) in his will, her husband even a child or two. What I would like you to do for me if you can,is find his father John Ross l, of Green Co. His wife is Mary sometimes called Elizabeth and she may be from Washington Co. Their son (first good date we have) 1781. Maybe by finding Mary Elizabeth married to John Ross in a will, I could find Mary Elizabeth's family. If I remember correctly, the book was well indexed, I had Christena's maiden and I wasn't looking for John Ross 1. hopefully this won't be too much trouble for you, I appreciate you doing this for all of us.
