Would someone be kind enough to look for Samuel Morgan Hayes (might be spelled Hays) in the 1900 census. He would most likely be in Clay or Braxton County. His wife's name was Mary Jane. There are probably a couple of daughter living with them. I have been searching on Ancestory.com and am not having any luck. Any help is greatly appreciated. Lois Hayes

Yes -- 1930 - sorry about that.

I would appreciate a lookup in the 1880 census; Union District, Mason Co. I already have the 1880 abstract from the LDS website.(Below) I was told that it was mistranscribed and would like to verify the information. The info I was given said that the "original 1880 census" shows that their father was born in Wales and their mother was born in England - not Germany! (strange transcription mistake) I would also like a "recheck" of where Elmira + Filo were born, please. Elmira's children give other states and previous census have other places of birth.

Colter's were living in the Buffalo area of Putnam Co as far back as 1859 that I know of. Priscella Coulter age 18 b. Monroe Co. Ohio d/o William & Anne Coulter wed Feb. 3, 1859 James Harrison age 22 b. Mason Co. s/o Josiah C. & Frances Harrison David W. Coulter age 23 b. Monroe Co. Ohio wed Sept 29, 1881 Mary S. Persinger age 24 b. Allegheny Co. VA (ref. Putnam Co Marriages 1848 - 1882) David W. Coulter is treasurer of the Dunlap Chapel Church on 18 Mile Creek in Oct. of 1877. (ref. Putnam Co. History Vol II) William & Anne Coulter are in the 1880 Putnam Co Census with a grandaughter. Mary V. Harrison age 20. Eighteen Mile Creek Road ends near Buffalo. It begins near Liberty, not far from the Jackson Co. line. Named Eighteen Mile Creek not because of it's length (which by the way is over 18 miles) but because it is located 18 miles from the mouth of the Kanawha River where it meets the Ohio. So it is not a small area that the census taker may have missed, although he could have missed one of the hollows that branch off of the Eighteen.

Thank you. this very well could be her because she wasn't born until August of 1916. The age is right and she was obviously born before Edd and Mary Blankenship were married. Thank you again sherry
