Melissa and Tim: The Dudley McMelonfamily was living in the 71st District of Wyoming Co VA in 1850. Would love to hear from anyone researching any of these families. Just a friendly reminder, can we please share our responses onLine? (I know I'm guilty of forgetting to cc: WVRALEIG-l@rootsweb.com). By working together, we all can benefit from the exchange of information. Thanks much.

I have a copy of the 1840 Fayette Census, but I don't know of one that lists family members by name. It's my understanding that prior to 1850, only heads of household are listed. If anyone knows of an annotated version, would you please reply to the list, because I would be interested, as well!
