Wanda, Here is what is listed in 1880 census index for Filson: FILSON, Ennis 43 Trousdale-71 Harriet 50 Tr-52 John J 22 Smith-152 Owen 51 Tr-71 Sarah 43 Tr48 The above entries are either heads of households (census would list others with them) or strays living with a household with different surname (good clues for relationship leads) I didn't see any alternate spellings on FILSON. Possible EDEN spellings in 1880 book: (not bad ! only 4 ways listed for surname) EDDENS, Saml 38 (B) Li-92 EDDINS 20+ listings EDEN , John 14 Macon-63 , Wm 16 M-63 They are 2 separate entries (probably farm hands?) EDENS 26 entries Send me your snail mail address privately to my e-mail and I will send you a copy of the listings.
