Thanks everyone. I have no record that I have looked in other than the 1840 and 1850 census. At the time I was looking for her children. If the census books are easily available to anyone on the list, I would appreciate a look-up for Nancy Gearhart in the 1860 and 1870 census. This won't help me with her parent's names but it may get some estimate of her death date. Should I write to the Rocky Mt. courthouse? Is their search limited to a year range for each search? Will they also look for a guardianship? I guess I would need her father, Leonard's, death date for that. He must have died young. He was only 43 with the latest 1810 birth date of his children. Is there a look-up available for Leonard in a Will index for Franklin Co.? The only research I have on Nancy's lineage was found in "Descendants of Leonard J. Gearhart" downloaded from wayne.gearhart.com and that was probably what was used for the LDS which does require documentation. I would like to fine the source used for this information? Anne
