I am new to the list and looking for some advice. I have been working on my husband's gr gr grandparents, Morris and Nancy (Conner) Scanlon. Morris was born in Ireland and came to this country via NY in 1837. I have no idea where he met and married Nancy and did not pick up their trail until I found their daughter's marriage record in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. According to the 1860 census for Tippecanoe County, there were 7 children born to this union: Catherine Ellen, my husband's great grandmother, born February 18, 1835; Mary born about 1838 or 9; James born about 1840-42; Michael, who later became the sheriff of Benton County, Indiana, born about 1844-46; Alexander born about 1847 and died before 1870; William born about 1849 and John born about 1851. The birthdates came from various sources and some guesswork. The records showed Catherine born in Boston (there is no record found), Mary born in Maryland (I haven't checked that yet) and the rest all born in Hampshire County, VA. I've ordered in any available films from my local FHC and checked on line and found zilch! I've also used every variation of spelling for Scanlon I can think of in my search. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Joan
