Joy, I didn't find any Stanways indexed in either 1860 or 1870 Texas. There was one John Stanway indexed in 1860 Maine and one in 1860 Connecticut, but none at all found in Texas. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Linda in Georgia Census/Cemetery Lookup Volunteer Genealogy is my ONLY business. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joy & Rob" <lyko@tig.com.au> To: <TX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2002 7:18 PM Subject: [TX-CEN] 1860 Census - STANWAY > Hi > > I am new to this list.
