I have written this exactly as it was in the Bible or as close as I could get.  I believe it to be correct.  There are more records on this family from an estate settlement in 1845 and the 1870 census of Lafayette County.  I have located some of them in 1870.  Also have the Slave Census Records for 1850 and 1860 that match the list above well.
If anybody wants more, let me know.  I also have other records that I will be sending along for other families.
