Thank you for sending the information. Matilda (Roden) Roll was listed in the 1870 U.S. Census - St. Joseph, Buchanan Co., Missouri. Sorry I didn't note what month this Census was taken in. I think she was probably married in Buchanan Co., Mo. before they moved on to Kansas. Christina is very interesting. In your 1860 Census, Brownville, Nemaha Co., Nebraska, you have her listed as age 8, born Indiana. The 1870 U.S. Census, St. Joseph, Buchanan Co., Missouri has her born 1850 Kentucky. Your Census Records, probably 1880 has her born in Missouri. This just show some of the mistakes made in Census Records. John Sears being from Hardin Co., Kentucky is very interesting. I had forgotten that the early families did travel in groups. The story of THE WILDERNESS TRAIL told of this because the trail across the Cumberland Gap was so treacherous. Then, I also remembered that some of the Roll Family were buried in the Sears Cemetery but I couldn't remember who or where it was. I looked it up this morning and found one. I know there are more. Sally Ann Roll who married Abraham L. Depoister. She was the 4th child of Abraham Roll & Rachel V. Rhoads. Abraham was the 5th child of Michael Roll & Christina Vought. Sally Ann (Roll) Depoister was buried in the Sears Cemetery, Muhlenberg Co., Kentucky. I think that must be in or near Paradise, Kentucky, because that is where Michael Roll & his family settled and died. I think there's a Sears Cemetery in Hardin Co., Kentucky also. For years, I belonged to THE ANCESTRIAL TRAILS Historical Society in Kentucky and it covered Hardin and several other counties. That was the name of their booklet every month. So, your information about the Sears & Roll families being in Hardin Co., Kentucky, Nebraska, Missouri & Kansas, and mine with them being in Hardin Co., & Muhlenberg Co., Kentucky, they continued to travel in groups. They likely came across The Cumberland Gap together and continued to settle and travel together. I have come across Sears Cemeteries several times doing research and I have accessed Ky. several times on the internet. I think this Sears Cemetery came up on it but I'm not sure. Paradise, Muhlenberg Co., Kentucky is not far from me and I have always wanted to stop when I went through but I never have, can you believe that? I've always been in a hurry to get someplace. I think I will just have to take a day and go. I always pay attention to where people were born and died. It gives the migration of the early settlers. You ramble pretty good but I love it. You remind me of a researcher who loves their work. One thing reminds you of something else and we go on and on. Lynn, Evelyn, Janis, Marguerite, Charlotte and I always got a chuckle out of that, we always said we had been bitten by the bug and we'd still be holding our pens when we did the genealogy in the hereafter. I guess the only way we put it down is when we aren't able to do it anymore. Thanks again Martha
