Looks to me like "Junior" could be a possibility. Joyce Rivette Rivette Family Genealogy http://www.rivettefamily.com ----------------------------- From: "Robert M.

I have provided a link to the image. I am looking for assistance with the name on line 8. I have the last name as Dasher, no problem. Unfortunately his first name has been indexed two different ways and I'm not sure I agree with either. I have tried to locate both indexed names and my variation in other online records/ images with no real luck. I will tell you that the enumerator had a tough time with these folks as you can tell by Edward Bowshet on line 2. *http://tinyurl.com/8j7m2xb* * * Any help is appreciated! -- Sincerely, Robert M Ankenbauer Jr -Genealogist- <http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=genealogist> Yesterday's Mysteries PO Box 51 Nutting Lake MA 01865 Visit My Blog <http://yesterdaysmysteries.blogspot.com/> Yesterday's Mysteries; Where your past comes to life!
