Dear
Janet,
I
created the 1870 Census index to help me do the lookups faster. I actually read
the census from a microfilm copy. There may be, by now, an 1870 census for
online viewing. However, the advantage of having me do it is that I don’t cost
anything and I have a good knowledge of people living in the county and can
often get hard to read names because I am familiar with names and
handwriting.
So,
as of this time there is not a specific place to go read this entry for yourself
that I can refer you to. I will eventually create a full census listing for 1870
as I have done for 1840, 1850 and 1880 Censuses. It takes time, so it will not
happen soon. Until then, I can do lookups for
you.
Here is the specific entry
you requested:
1870
Census of Brown County, Illinois, Lee Twp
56/56 21 June
1870
C.
T. Underwood 22 m farm laborer North
Carolina
Sarah Underwood 21 f
Illinois
I
also found this marriage entry in the statewide Marriage
Listing:
Groom
Bride
Date
Book/Page
County
UNDERWOOD,
COLUMBUS T FIELDS, SARAH 03/22/1870 / ADAMS
The
location for this information is: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/marrsrch.html
This
provides a little additional information. You now may want to look at the Adams
County Census to find their families. There is a Fields Family in Brown County,
but it would be a real stretch to make Sarah fit into that family. The fact that
they were married earlier in the year, would indicate that they parents of both
may be found in Adams County.
Sincerely,
Ken
Huffman

Hi Ken,
I am writing again to ask for
your help. As before I want to thank you for
being there for me. I know that
it takes so much time and I sure appreciate
it. Whenever you can get to it is
fine. I am just excited to find that there
is listed in the 1870 Federal
Census for Brown Co., Il. a
C. T. Underwood L56 Can you tell me
how to view that report to see who his
family was or do you need to send it
to me? I have been trying to find
information about my Underwood family and
this is the first in the area. I
hope it will give other names to go
on.
Thanks
again.
Sincerely,
Jnaet
