[or-roots] Deford

[Leslie Chapman]

Okay; I went to Heritage Quest image of Samuel Deford;

Series: M653  Roll: 1055  Page: 370
Surname  GivenName  Age  Sex  Race  Birthplace  State  County  Location
Year
DEFORD  SAMUEL      46    M     W    OH         OR      LINN     LEBANON P O
1860

What they have is virtually indecipherable, but right away I note there are
no entries in the ocupation  column except Farmer for Samuel, it looks like
spouse is Jane age 47, he being 46, first child might be age 18, second
maybe 14 and last about 7? I think the oldest is Amy or Ann, but no clue the
other two, I know you have this info elsewhere, but that is how bad this
image is, I would be curious to see what it looks like on the local library
microfilm roll, if it is this bad, my experience in the past has been if
Heritage has a bad image so does my library.

trying to track these folks in 1870 real pain, tried samuel of his age group
b. ohio and none even close to your guy, tried tracking a couple of his
neighbors from 1860 and find them in Scio precinct. scrolling throught that
stumbled across a Wisner that may be one of my kin, but don't know who he
is.

on the same page with him;
Series: M593  Roll: 1286  Page: 619

is a Jasper Deford age 21 b Iowa and Lydia (spouse/sister??) age 23 also b.
Iowa.

His is in fact the only Deford that Heritage Quest lists in the 1870 OR
Census, I scrolled all the way through Scio Precinct and Lebanon with no
luck, I think they were just missed in 1870.

and for 1880;
