Just a comment - some censustakers listed all the males in the household first, then all the females. It looks like this is the case in the listing you showed. Also, re J.S. Bear's marriage and Josephine L. Bear in the 1860 census - S looked exactly like L in much of the old handwriting, so I would assume this is the same person. >>John Bear and Elizabeth Miller >>Feb. 27, 1844 from the Augusta Co. VA marriage records You might try finding Martin Miller's will in Augusta co to see if it names his dau. Elizabeth Bear or Harris, depending on when he died. Also try Ritchie co marriage records for James Harris and Elizabeth Bear. --Holly
