Don'...I'm chuckling at your comment, Karen. Don't we wish they could speak from the grave?! It's so hard to search the ladies, too. If Caroline was a sister and married, it will be hard to find her. If she died with the last name DeHart, it might be a little easier. Well, perhaps he'll turn up one of these days...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-43808914427942121482010-10-02T00:59:52.155-04:002010-10-02T00:59:52.155-04:00I so enjoyed reading this post and was nodding in ...I so enjoyed reading this post and was nodding in empathy. <br /><br />My gr-gr-grandfather Amos DeHart suddenly appears in the 1850 census as a 30 year old man along with 17 year old Caroline DeHart (They share a household, but their relationship is not stated in census - 1st wife? Younger sister? I don't know). By the next census there is no trace of Caroline DeHart (did she die or marry or move?) and Amos is married to Lovina DeHart. Prior to 1850, was Amos a local? Who were his parents? Did he have siblings? I wish he'd tell me! Stubborn old clammed-up dead guy!

It is fun and interesting to learn about the ancestors, sometimes also frustrating. Happy birthday to Fred your great-grand pop.
