Does anyone have access to the 1860 census or the Accelerated Index System? I once noted mention of one Melinda Mitchell; am now wondering if this could have been my 3rd grt grandmother, a widow< though I think I dismissed it due to a discrepancy in age. I now know that ages weren`t always correct on these records. Anyway she fibbed on the 1870 census(she md. a younger man) so. Would love to recheck the record. Thanks, Sue in Al.
