To: CC: BCC: Subject:RE: [VIRGINIA] Denise, A "ROWLAND B. LINDSEY was residing in Mason County, Virgina in 1820 and in 1830. There seem to be no longer anY LINDSEY [any spelling] residing in Mason County, VA by 1840. I did not check the 1850 US Census other than to check on the number of pages. I am not in a position to an advatace. 1850. I hope this is of help to you. The 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830 and 1840 US Census showed only the name of the head of household. Other members of the household were not named. They were just enumerated. The names of the head of household on the 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820 US Census records are indexed and those census records are searchable, however the 1830 [74 images], 1840 [66 images], and 1850 [165 images] US Census Records are not yet indexed, so must be browsed image by image using HeritageQuest Online, which is my source for those census records.

I got a reply also from someone who suggested my original question was not clear enough. In that case I try again... I am looking for the family and birthplace of a man who came to Australia in the gold rush years of 1850. Now being wary of treading on any listowners toes I perhaps did not express myself clearly in the first email. For that, if it was so, I apologise. This man William LindsEy claimed in various birth death Obituary marriage documents in Australia to have come from - 1. Virginia United States 2. Mason C 3. Minois - this has been used a couple of times in different sources. and on his death certificate the informant (not the deceased of course ) said 4. Illinois America. His father's name was Robert LindsEy and the mother - her name is hard to read but Punbr? formerly Russell. Since posting my first email I requested a look up from SKS for a census in Minois Mason County Virginia and the reply was that this man did not appear there. In order to go further in our research we are trying to establish just where he did come from, Virginia, Mason C, Minois or Illinois. The first thing to find was if Minois was a town, Mason C perhaps County, and which state, Virginia or Illinois. Because the Illinois came from information the man himself could not have provided (death certificate) I started with this list, the most obvious. to me Minois looks a bit like Illinois, hence my concern about stepping on toes. So the aim is to eliminate one of these states, and we started with Virginia.

You're right. M is often Ill or iLL with a pen with a soft nib can look like an M.

Thinking to check the children's names of this William Lindsey I find an unusual one Arviller and another is named William Roland Would it be wonderful to be on the right track! You have given me some hope here. I am working with his great-granddaughter trying to find her ancestors, so shall pass along all the great information which has landed in my Inbox today, thank you all - I'll try various sites and see if I can turn up Arviller.
