Hi, Thank you for the census info. I'm guessing that the House family may be connected to Deborah in some way just as the Shanholtzers and Pattersons. Another connection between my Amos and the Amos born in 1820, both were carpenters. Thanks again for your help, Chuck --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
