I don't think this transmitted the first time, I apologize if it did Hi, Searching for Lydia JAMES in 1870 Harrison Co. WV Census. She is listed on the Fayette Co. PA Census age 55 born in PA widow. She had a son named Ashbel F. JAMES b. abt. 1835 give or take a year or two. I know somewhere sometime (while on the hunt for my JANES/JAYNES families in HC) I saw Lydia and Ashbel JAMES on that census I think it was the 1870 maybe the 1860. I have Ashbel James' C.S.A. military file (by mistake) and I'm now trying to hunt down someone researching this family so I can pass on this file. Lydia and Ashbel might be listed as JONES on the census in Harrison Co. THere is an "Ashbel JANES" on the census with his parents James W. JANES and Mary Ann JANES but this is a different Ashbell. I do know that Lydia (UNK) JAMES was his mother I don't know who his father was though. I do know that Ashbel F. James had a sister named "Lydia" too and she was listed as age 20 on the 1850 Fayette PA Census. This is all I know about this JAMES family. Any help would be great, Jana Jaynes Thomas
