[or-roots] Help with 1860 census.

[Leslie Chapman]

Do you have the images of John and Catherine in the 1850 amd 1860 census, I
can send them to you off list if not.

I don't seem to be having much luck with the proximity search. Since Lewis'
father and family don't appeaar to have moved, I just ended up searching
thier neighborhood with no luck. Since fishing for names had led me to
bouncing around in the county, I decided the brute force method might work
better. about a third of the way through that it occurred to me to look for
the name Lambert.

As I understand it you main quest is to find Achsah's kin. Ironically I have
an Achsah in my family tree, but not a Lambert. Anyway searching for TN born
Lamberts in MO yields three names;

LAMBERT WM	age 13 he is living with Erwin C. Wilson and wife Charlotte. He
being 34 b TN she 32 b AR other than she being b. AR it might be she is a
sister of Achsah for example and Wm is a little brother.

There is a Unity Lambert, age 30 possibly a widow with four children in Ray
Co, but the most interesting possibility is Mose A Lamber age 31 in Liberty
Twp, Barry Co. Next door to him is L Lambertson age 75 b PA. I thought he
was a Lambert at first, but there "might" be a connection.

Also do you know if Abram Forrest who is found on page 971 is Kin? He is 51
from SC wife Jane 50 Kentucky, daus Amanda 16 & Mary  5 b MO?

Okay, I am going to have to give up for the night, 12 pages short of
scanning the whole county, I will be out of town for rest of week, but will
try to remember to finish county as soon as I get back. I think I want to go
back through at least to a few pages before John and family and watch more
carefully for a Lewis-Achsah set that might be under some name other than
Forest or Lambert.
