Dear
Barbara,
I have
been monitoring the requests this week – my husband has been answering them the
past few months while I have been on a break. I thought I ought to contact you
about your Davis family, because it was very familiar to me. About 4 years ago
someone else requested this information, and as I studied it out at that time, I
discovered that there are two Williams, and both married to an Adeline (strange
but true). I believe (it’s been awhile – so not perfectly sure) that the William
in the 1850 census, with father William, was the one who drowned with his wife.
I am going to look into this again and see what details are still available. We
didn’t keep the requests for that year for the “one name research” file online,
so that search must be redone. Please allow a week or so as I scour our notes
and records.

OK here
goes. William and Adeline (Bruce?) Davis-were killed either 1886 or 1894 in Mt
Sterling in a buggy - train accident. They were my great great maternal
grandparents. I have their marriage date-sorry I left it at work. They appear on
the 1850 census Lee TWP, Brown county with two children-the curious thing is
that he is 45, she is 22 and they have a 12 year old William and a 11/12
Phebe-so is this his child by a former marriage or someone else's child. I
find this same young man in the 1880 census in same township, correct age with a
wife of his own and children. Also find William and Adeline in 1880 with James,
Kate and Charlotte. I really need a death certificate or a copy of the
obit. Since the 1840 census is only a head of household I can't tell if
william was married before and I have checked the marriage listings. Can you
help me
Thanks
Barbara

(mp) Dear
Barbara, Not to
burst your bubble, We live in Virginia. One of the beauties of the
internet. Just
send the names of the persons you want looked up. You can check the census
indexes and the cemeteries index to see if their names appear in those
records. Sincerely, Ken
Huffman

Ken,
The family I need
looked up is not listed with the ones you have already researched so now how do
I go about asking you for a lookup. I don't have much information. And may I say
the site is quite remarkable. I have visited many but this is incredible-the
amount of work you have done. What I would give to be there and help you.
Thanks
again,
Barbara

Barbara,
The One
Name Research section is a copy of nearly all of the lookup responses I have
made over my years as the Web Site Coordinator. The names searched are listed
alphabetically and multiple searches for the same surname are numbered. On the
main page of the web site is a link to the One Name research index. From there
you just click on the surname you want and the previous lookup will come
up.
Here’s a
short cut link to it:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilbrown/OneNameResearch.html
If you
make a mistake and ask me to lookup something I’ve looked up before, Don’t
worry. I don’t check, but it can save time for you as well as
me.
Sincerely,
Ken
Huffman

Ken,
I keep seeing
something about a one name lookup. How does this work? I am new to your website
and really enjoy it.
thanks
