Hello, I am trying to identify the parents and family of a GGGF, who I have recently been advised was born in Mason County, WV. Would someone with access to the 1850 - 1860 Mason County census please do a lookup for the following individual/family group: Abner Bowen Perry, b. 14 AUG 1845, Mason County. Age approx. 5 years in 1850, 10 years in 1860. I have "conflicting" info regarding his parents' names. But my most reliable source has them as - William Perry & Nancy Conrad Perry. I have also been advised that Abner Perry had several half-brothers and half-sisters. So there should be more than one child listed on the censuses. Or so I hope. Any info about this family group would be greatly appreciated.
