I found the 1870 census of Fayette co and it does have Sarah E. listed as 2 with Mary M. listed as 20! Joseph listed as 67 and Elizabeth as 40 and there is Louisa J. 18, Alphoretta 13 , Nancy A. was 8 and Thomas as 15. Nancy-WV >> Nancy, MANY THANKS!!! This new information narrows things quite a bit. We now know that Joseph MCGARY was still living in 1870 in Fayette Co., WV, and that by 1872, his widow, Elizabeth (Dean) MCGARY, was filing for guardianship of her minor children in Pike Co., OH. So, either Joseph MCGARY died and is buried in Fayette Co., WV 1870-1872, or he moved to Pike Co., OH, just prior to his death (1870-1872). Anyone have any death records for Fayette County for that timeframe? Thanks, Nancy! Lainie
