Hi Katherine, You missed one child on the family. Miles was age 2 on the 1860 census. John M was age 5/12 (bn Feb 1860)(census was taken 27 Jun 1860). Miles wasn't on the 1870 census. but I couldn't find the family either. Milly didn't die until 16 Oct 1864 (probably from complications of birth-Sarah was bn 2 Oct 1864) and Louisa (James and Sarah's oldest daughter is age 15- 1880 -bn 1865) I've also researched this line some but so far haven't really done too much on it. Maybe when I get my files sorted out,I'll get in some good research time and see what I can find.
