(It doesn't give a maiden name label for the Sarah/Sally who has the mother of Hannah Dalton, Adeline Dalton, and many other daughters, but it lists her as the first Sarah in the Dalton index.) If I'm following this Wm Dalton thread correctly, I take it that the index page is labelled incorrectly, and that the [Branscom] label (and the link to the 1850 Harbert Branscome family) should go with the links for the 1860/1870/1880 readings for the William Dalton with 8 daughters and 3 sons, and the 1860 link that is labelled as Sarah Branscom should instead be labelled [Jennings], and go with the 1870 link to the T. M. Hull family: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vacarrol/census/carr_735.htm#h123 Is this correct? Here are the two 1850 listings where each Sarah is with her parents: 1850 census of Carroll Co., Va, p. 9, lists as family #60: Jennings, Thomas, 46; Elizabeth, 48; Lucinda, 19; Sarah, 18; Justin, 15; Churchwell M., 13; Mary, 10; James C., 9; John F., 4. 1850 census of Carroll Co., Va, p. 50, lists as family #348: Harbert, Branscome, 37, farmer; Nancy, 38; Sally, 16; Anna, 14; Franklin, 13; Selah, 11; Robert, 10; Isaac, 8; John, 7; Tilda, 5; Polly, 5; Lucy, 4; William L., 2; Edmond, 4/12; Tirey Goad, 23, waggoner; William Dalton, 23, laborer; George W.
