alt: Selma.. and with the right wife & child LOL LOL
Seventies Soulchild: Well shoot since you have all these folks on your site alt, do you have any Bowmans or Logans from Ohio? lol
Daviss: He of course knows little about his grandfather so mabe he will get interested

Seventies Soulchild: lol
Daviss: His known family left Texas early alt and ended up in Ohio
vkn: Its a Buckeye world alt lol
alt: I know I have them from around this area in Ohio Seventies Soulchild
Seventies Soulchild: How about Hattie Logan? or Harriet Logan Huron Co. OH
alt: all roads lead to Ohio .... from Virginia LOL LOL
Daviss: lol lol lol
Seventies Soulchild: lol lol lol
alt: I doubt if i have that one Seventies Soulchild
Seventies Soulchild: I do have a question alt or Selma. Anyone born before 1863 in old Virginia would've still answered in later censuses that they were born in VA right? Someone born about 1860.
alt: could be Seventies Soulchild, but a lot of folks were born in what is now West Virginia & Kentucky when they were still a part of VA and they list WV & KY as their birth locations especailly around 1860.... whe WV spilt from VA around 1863 or so. right Selma???
Selma: Hold on making a sandwich
Seventies Soulchild: This is Welcome Bowman's father Jacob Bowman's place of birth. But I figured that he came from pre 1863 VA to OH
Selma: They split in 1861...
alt: okay Selma, thanks
Seventies Soulchild: Welcome Bowman was the husband of my aunt Julia Washington
Selma: They should have recorded their births as VA..but you never know what folkssay
Seventies Soulchild: And Huron Co. OH is in northern Ohio
Daviss: In the 1870 census I have people that were born in Ga, Ala and NC. However in the area they live in (10-12 pages on census) there are no non AA's near, what ave can I use to narrow down a county?
vkn: My Nelson followed Daniel Boone from KY to VA
Daviss: Or have I asked that question before of you all
alt: hey y'all .. on the John Legend segment coming up Sunday... if his FPOC ancestors researched are the Hargo's of Ohio, they were negihbors of my Allen & Walden ancestors in Ross & Pickaway counties from like the 1830's forward.
Seventies Soulchild: Looking forward to the episode alt... will you be able to watch on TV Sunday or will you have to watch online?
Daviss: that would be good to hear alt..
alt: DAviss, you might try looking at the suranmes in those states and note the counties in earlier census records.
Selma: Yes, look to see where folks were from in the earlier censuses
alt: I'll have to watch online Monday or on TV MOnday evening Seventies Soulchild
Daviss: Ok but they had no counties listed
Selma: Daviss..are there books on the history of these counties..they usually have a chapter on where the folks came from originally There is a migration pattern from other states
alt: do a search on those surnames Daviss .. HQ or what ever you use... those surnames will show up in various census years by county within state.
Daviss: ok, I guess I can use the SW Quarterly and see what I can find
alt: and then try and zero in on the names you are familiar with in the States you have listed GA, AL & NC
Daviss: browse the index to see if they list texas counties and go from there. Thx
vkn: Good search approach
Seventies Soulchild: hello bbenn
alt: i do that all of the time on Ancestry....That's how I found FPOC Hargo's in Ross & Pickaway County OH.... search Hargo, then added Black for race and found them as early as 1830.
vkn: Howdy bbenn
bbenn: Hello alt, Daviss, Selma, Seventies, vkn:}
alt: hello bbenn
Daviss: I did a name search of all the White Surname on the 50 and 60 census for Grimes County texas but could not come up with a county in Ala Hello BBenn
Seventies Soulchild: Daviss, perhaps they only lived in AL but born in GA
Selma: Alt..my Mom is watching the Golf Channel..the Players just came on
Daviss: Joseph White was born in Ala
Selma: Afternoon bbenn
alt: go Mom LOL .. is Tiger in the tournament this week?
bbenn: HOWDY!
Selma: yes..but don't know where he is
alt: he missed the cut last week.
Daviss: ended up in Tx but he has been hard for me to find him or his father Jsoeph White I am trying to find his slave inventory from Ala
alt: try loking for Joseph White in AL and/or GA during those census years Daviss.. hopefully you'll find some and the counties they were living in.
Selma: Is Joseph white the slave owner daviss..
Daviss: yes both father and son
alt: also you might try the slave schedules for those same years 1850/1860 for a Joseph white in those States, if you haven't already tried that.
Daviss: Son lived past 1890 I have looked for his obit but so far no luck I was thinking I could get a clue from there
Selma: alt..lead is at -6
alt: if not an obit.. perhaps he is listed on a death index
Daviss: nada so far alt but I will keep looking
alt: okay Selma, thanks.
Seventies Soulchild: good day all
alt: godd day Seventies Soulchild Oops , good day
Selma: So when does Joseph show up in Grimes County?
