Since there has been more activity on this Rootsweb that when I first sent my inquiry, am going to repeat. I am still stymied--AND I DO NEED HELP! My great grandfather was William Harvel Watson, born circa 1825, and who married Martha A. Richardson, born circa 1837. I found them listed on the 1870 District #3, Lancaster, County of Garrard, KY., Microfil #463, as follows: William H. Watson, age 45, Blacksmith Martha A., age 33 Laura J., age 14 Clara, age 11 William R., age 10 Samuel Harvel (my grandfather), age 7. (He was born 8/27/1863) Elizabeth, age 5 James B., age 3 John T., age 1 I didn't know they had so many children until I saw this census report. I just knew of three sons and one daughter, Clara, my great aunt. I tried to find this family in the 1880 census and couldn't find them, also, tried in the 1860, 1850, 1840, 1830, etc., and couldn't find them. I don't know where they came from or where they moved when they left Kentucky. The next time I can find Samuel, he is in the 1900 Kansas Census and then the 1910 Census. By this time he had married my grandmother Lida Ellen Chadd. Lida was in Iowa with her family of Daniel Chadd and Fannie Guilliams. Lida died 12/1/1900 and about 30 years of age. This is the one line of my family tree that remains a mystery to me. Please help as the clock is ticking. Thanks, Clara WATSON Elkins, Emporia, Kansas
