Thank you,Mary. I didn't expect a reply so quick! I should have added that there was a vast difference in the children's ages from 1870 to 1880.Susan E.Lambert and Benjamin Moore were married 29 May,1866 in Montgomery Co. VA. Ben was born 1841 and Susan was born 1842. I feel the ages of children in 1870 was more correct. Richard E. was a child of Ben and Susan. Either he died after the 1870 census or he was with another family after they were orphaned. But he was never mentioned by any one that I know of. I will take your advice and look in the places you suggested. Thanks again,Mary. Freeda
