Hi Thank you for writing. You are right--it is the 1860 census not the 1870. I had forgotten that I had the 1860 census disk in, not the 1870. I did not question that I made the mistake, since I have run into the situation before where the ages were off quite a bit from one census to the other--but this time I was wrong. Ineed to compile what you have on the John Joseph Saunders and Sally R. Rowe family in San Augustine. There are 3 sets of Saunders/Sanders there in 1850 from S.C./N.C.--you'd wonder if there is not a relationship somewhere. The only way to find out is to trace them all. First Set-- John Joseph Saunders Family Second Set -- Charity Sanders Family (abt 1790), husband unknown ...children Eliza m. Samuel Pearce aka Hereford ...son - John Sanders m 1)Elizabeth Thomas 2)Amelia Ainsworth Third Set - Millie Sanders 37 (husband unknown) with children Mary, Elizabeth, Harriet, Samuel Ezekiel, Andrew Elvira, Virginia. Would really appreciate the info you have on John J. Saunder's parents and as far back as you have. Maybe we can find a link in this way. Will be glad to share what I have and work with you as we go along. Pat Welch >From: ViniL@aol.com >Reply-To: TXSANAUG-L@rootsweb.com >To: TXSANAUG-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [TXSANAUG] John J.
