Jim: I am not sure if this is the right family, but they seem to fit the profile of your query. The John Vanarsdall and Elizabeth (?) in the following census record do not appear to have been married in Mercer Co., KY. Source: "1850 Federal Census Mercer County Kentucky," by Faye Sea Saunders, Louisville, KY, 1983, P. 26, Family No. 452: Vanarsdall, John 27 year old male, b. KY, Farmer Vanarsdall, Elizabeth 21 year old female, b. KY Vanarsdall, Elizabeth 4/12 year old female, b. KY (P. 270 of original census) The three other John Vanarsdall's in Mercer Co., KY in 1850 do not fit your profile at all. John L. D. Vanaasdoll lived in Hart Co., KY, P. 234 in 1850, but he appears to have married Lucy Banta in 1821 in Mercer Co., KY. John Vanarsdale lived in Franklin Co., KY, P. 36 in 1850. He might be your man also. This is all I could dig up from my records at home. I hope it helps.
