Hi All, I noticed recently that there has been some discussion of the Gaylord Family, which prompted me to check my database. I have a Rufus M. Gaylord. In the 1870 Census for Clinton Township, Wayne County, PA, he is married to Orpha. I assumed that Orpha was Orpha Stevenson, since her sister Hannah was living in the household as a domestic. Can someone confirm that I made a correct assumption? Orpha and Hannah were the daughters of Arthur and Kate (maiden name unknown) Stevenson. I located Rufus in the 1860 Census for Clinton Township living alone. I have not been able to locate him in the 1850 Census. Does anyone know his parents were? In the 1880 Census, Rufus and Orpha are still in Clinton Township. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Carol Potter Meadows

If someone who has access to a better copy of the 1850 census there is an 8-yr old male in Anson's househould whose first initial in my transcription is a bit of a guess..... the second initial is M Fred CMMEADOWS2@aol.com wrote: > Hi All, > > I noticed recently that there has been some discussion of the Gaylord Family, > which prompted me to check my database. > > I have a Rufus M.
