I'm looking for the parents of Aaron Darby. He was born in 1845 in PA so should be about 5 years old in the 1850 census, hopefully with his parents but I have been unable to locate him in the 1850. Any help very much appreciated. Betty trumpcard1@earthlink.net

Hi, Betty: I looked at every Darby family that Heritage Quest has indexed for 1860 PA (HQ does not have the 1850 indexed) and did not find an Aaron. I did find this Aaron Durby in 1860 Fayette Co. Sorry that I was not able to find his parents; I hope there's something useful here. Series: M653  Roll: 1110  Page: 342 1860 - Stewart Twp., Fayette Co., PA - 8/28/1860 Alfred E.

Thank you Debra. I couldn't ask for more. That was wonderful! Betty
