Wow,
thanks so much for going out of your way to get a hold of me.
I was
checking my email daily, looking for your response and was thinking of writing
again, when I went to the Welcome page and saw your message. My internet provider is in
I promise
I won’t ask any more questions (for a while) if you can do one more thing for me
J.
I’ll
explain my problem. In the 1850 census they have Joseph Groves (jr) and Sarah
Ann with their children, one being my ggrandfather Stephen Jasper. The grandfather Joseph
Groves (sr) is living with them.
The problem is that I could never find
anything to verify a Joseph Groves (jr) as my ggrandfather’s father. Things kept
pointing to a Jacob Groves being the father and now I have word from another
descendant that, yes Jacob Groves was the father of my ggrandfather Stephen
Jasper, though I don’t think he has proof to verify this.
If you
see the actual census, is there a chance that the census actually reads Jacob
and not Joseph for the family head?
IF you
can check the 1850 census just to see if the name could be Jacob Groves and not
Joseph Groves, it would help straighten out this problem and then I will have
verifying information as to whom my gggrandfather is.
Thank you
very much,
Here is a
second email address to respond to if you wish to try.
Thanks,
Rebecca
