Other villagers made their living by farming. Hi Bill, I was just wondering, do you know if the original surveyor records are still available and how one might be able to get copies? BTW, I found a direct connection between me and Orvin Wagoner, but have not found one to you unless the Thomas Waggoner connection is valid. There seems to be plenty of cross family marriages to link the families. Do you know why the family names changed during the Census taking, was it just the Census takers interpretations or did the families make the change for some reason? Dan Dan
