Benny, I checked the 1880 Hardin Co. census today and found your James McLean family. Didn't find a Rosie but found Margaret with no middle name who is the right age. Maybe her middle name was Rosanna/Rosie. Here is how it is shown: McLean, James 55, born in TN Rosanna 42, TN Mary J. 18, TN Charlie G. 16, TN William 11, TN Ann E. 9, TN Margaret 7, TN Robert 2, TN James Benny Cooper wrote: > > I am in need of someone who has access to the 1880 Hardin Co. census, either > index or otherwise. > > I am trying to confirm a birth of Rosie Mclean (McClain) about 1873. > > I believe her parents were James B and Rosana McClean.
