[or-roots] Help with 1860 census.

[Leslie Chapman]

Suzanne;  I come up blank on that, looking at forest, forrest, lewis lew lou
louis between 11 and 30 born in Arkansas gives no one. There is an Ely S.
Forest born in Arkansas living in MO in the 1860 census. My guess is either
he was in transit to Oregon; Matilda being listed as age 9 born in MO for
the 1870 Census doesn't preclude that, or he is living with a relative.

Do you know anything about siblings, uncles etc?

I use Heritage Quest and it is indexed only by head of house hold.

If you give me the page number for the 1850 Census I would be willing to see
if I can find him in that neighborhood in 1860, but I don't have an index of
the 1850 census.

I am looking for 2 related families that I can't find in the 1860 census.

First family is my gr-gr-grandfather Lewis W. Forrest, b: 1839 in Arkansas.
Wife is Achsah (Lambert) Forrest, b: 1839 TN.  They both show up in
respective 1850 census in Wright county Missouri.

Achsah was living with her mother Olivey Lambert in the 1850 census in
Wright county Missouri.

Achsah died in 1862 in Missouri but I can't find any record of her.  Just
know info by word of mouth.  Lewis W. died in Yamhill county Oregon 1873.  I
know where his grave is.

I hope someone can help me, I have been working on this for a couple of
years now.
