Posted on: Biographies of Van Arsdale & Related Families Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/VanArsdaleBios?read=104 Surname: Vanausdal ------------------------- There is a Rachel listed in a crazy manner in the Licking Co., OH, 1850 census who could be the Rachel above. I say it's a crazy manner because there is a John Vanausdal (think that is the spelling that was used) and his wife, whose name isn't at all legible, listed at the bottom of one page, then going to the next page there is a Rachel listed with no surname, but the dwelling doesn't seem to be the same one as John's. From what I can make out on the very poor census film, Rachel would have been born about 1786, but it's very hard to read and could be a different year. She was born in VA. With her is a Mikel, about 25 yrs. old, and again no surname. I have been trying to figure out who those people are for years because it could be a badly needed clue. If someone can figure it out, I sure would like to hear from them.
