View 1910 Census in a larger map

In 1910 Living with Jacob and Eva Moser
in Rocks Falls are Earl and Ida Fink who are
Mary Pearl Whitney Fink’s children (Oliver and Cordelia’s grandchildren).
Mary died in around 1905. Ida later lives
with Josephine Whitney Callwell another daughter of Oliver and
Cordelia in 1920. I just found it interesting that
these Fink children ended up with
Jacob and Eva. The children were born near St. Joe
and it seemed off these 6 and 8 year olds were
with great uncle and aunt.

Next, Clyde Phillips Nancy Whitney’s son lives with his AUnt Elsie Atkins in 1920 in Miami County KS. On the same page is Wendell Surface, grandson of Michael Surface , Rachael WHitney’s second husband. Recall that I think Rachael is Oliver P. Whitney’s aunt. Currently following this a bit to see if it leads anywhere. Other coincidences, Wendell has a daughter Elsie, Joseph Galladay’s first wife was an Atkins. Probably won’t go anywhere, but who knows.

Ancestry just posted Alabama state census. There’s a John Blagg in Franklin County Alabama in 1820.
4 white male over 21
3 white male under 21
1 white female over 21
4 white female under 21
no free people of color, no slaves.

Not sure which John this is going to be since the US Census for 1820 has John in Pendleton VA.

Just a little thing I’m working on trying to sort out which family is which, where they came from and all that on the Blaggs.

Yep, we all have them…those family members who just…well…disappear.

I’m looking for Oliver Perry Whitney b. 1849/50 somewhere in 1870. It’d also be nice to find something in the 1850 census or to prove he was born after it.

But here’s a few dropped off the face of the earth people:

Lydia Moser b. 1838 after 1850
George W. Moser b. 1840 after 1860
Catherine Ann Moser b. 1845 after 1870

James/David Galladay b. 1867 after 1910
Christopher/William Galladay b. 1870 after 1910
Cordelia/Phidelia Galladay b. 1858 after 1870
Con/??? Galladay b. 1862 after 1870

Those are just a few….

Of course, they aren’ quite as difficult as those that just appear out of thin air….
