Maybe the following will help you some w/your FINLEYS: Here is your FINLEY family in 1850: Pickens Dist., Western Dist. (later Oconee Co.), SC 720/758 Joseph FINLEY, age 40, m, farmer, 1,000, all b. NC Malinda, age 35, f, Thomas, age 15, m, Jane, 13, f, Charles, age 11, m, Elbert, age 9, m, Joseph, age 7, m, James, age 5, m, (next to them) 721/760 Andrew FINLEY, age 21, m, farmer, all born NC Arminda FINLEY, age 21, f, Mary M., 1, f I noticed that there are a large number of families in this section born in NC, including a KELLY family on the other side of your FINLEY. Since some families move together, thought I would throw this in. There are at least six Elizabeth ALEXANDERs listed in 1850, and three of them are aged 13, 14, 15. I am sending you the 13 yr. old one and her family: Eastern Dist., Pickens Dist., SC: 1090/1090 Elisha ALEXANDER, age 36, m, w, farming, all born in SC Arminda ALEXANDER, age 32, f, w, Cosley, age 15, m, w, Elizabeth, age 13, f, w, Jefferson, 12, m, w, Jasper, 10, m, w, Adaline, 7, f, w, F. Garvin, 6, m, w, Mary, 1, f, w This may not be the correct one, but I will gladly send you the others if you want them. Here they (Charles and Elizabeth) are in 1880. Not sure abt the KNOX boys as they would not really be old enough to be their parents: Census Place: Hurricane, Pickens, South Carolina Source: FHL Film 1255238 National Archives Film T9-1238 Page 76B Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Charles B.
