Hi Jane, This may or may not be helpful to you but if it is, I would appreciate knowing because this is a gem of info that I have that doesn't fit into our line but it should. First of all, I checked the 1880 Census for KY and did not come up with a Rose Aton. I did come up with a Franklin and several William's. I found 1 Ada who was b. ca 1875. You said that Rose died ca 1881 but where did she die? Where was you grandfather born and when? I am trying to establish if this family remained in KY or if they could be on some other 1880 Census. Now for my Gem: In our line a Russell married an unrelated Russell. The 1850 Census for Norfolk, Va. p. 27A lists Household #45. Delia Russell 45 This is really Adelia Hester A. Russell 17 This is really Esther Rosina (?) 5 I couldn't read this name very well. I have no idea who this Rosina (?) is since Adelia became a widow in 1835 and as far as I know never remarried and the only child that was known was the Esther b. 1833. Does any of this mean anything to you? Hope we can make a fit.
