    1. Re: Lucindy Collins Saylor Wood
    2. A cardinal rule for doing US research is to look for your family members in EVERY census they would have appeared in (even if you think you've got the information that you need.) It's amazing how many information holes can be filled about the families when you do that. You may be able to find your information about Lucindy's family by looking in the 1880, 1870, & earlier censuses. (It also works in other countries that did census records regularly.) One case in point in Union county: Benjamin Franklin Booker, I was told, had at least one set of twins that "died young". By looking in every census at all the relatives (since my family was in the area by 1804 & earlier on some lines) I often find other pieces to the same puzzle. In 1870 those twins Collumbus & Lindy Hester were listed as 4 years old. They were not listed in 1880. I had names & approximate dates for the rest of the family & they aren't my direct line. Had I not been looking in EVERY census for the ones I'm related to, I wouldn't have names for those two. Karen
