[or-roots] census confusion revisited

[Kith-n-Kin]

Good for you, Les!  And I agree, it's not just that guy on the McDonalds ad who has an interesting life
(has coffee, notices his wife of ten years -- and never knew he was married) -- dropping the synapses
works for me as well.

|I thought I would give all of you who helped me out with my 
|Wade mystery a bit of an update, and make one more comment 
|about censuses.
|
|first the update, I have managed to tie in with a couple of 
|web pages which have exensive info on the ancestry of one of 
|Dewey's in-laws and also his mother's line in detail, I also 
|found a book on the famiy of another of his in-laws on Heritage Quest.
|
|Now the confusion part, was just trying to chase down the 
|Sherwood that appears in the Edward Wade household in 1900, 
|having forgotten I had him in a web page all neatly tied up.
|
|So, in 1900 he is listed as Ardel L, with a name like that he 
|should be easy to back track. Well no actually his name is 
|Andrew Lake Sherwood, by process of elimination was pretty 
|sure I had him in 1870 as Andrew S and wife Nancy with dau 
|Esther same as in 1900.
|
|Looking for him in 1860, I narrowed the search down to three 
|individuals born in Vermont and lo and behold there he was 
|right next door to Edward and Amelia, (see how much more 
|entertaining genealogy is when you don't have a
|memory) but I can probably be forgiven for having a hard time 
|finding him, since in 1860 he is L. S. Sherwood.
|
|Ain't genealogy fun!
