Oops. Not only did I post that twice, but I lost a generation. I have the following children for Philip Bellis (b. 7/12/1794, NJ) and Mary (Polly) Bellis (b. 1789, VA): the 1820 census (KY, Nicholas Co.) lists 1 male under 5, and 3 females under 10). These children do not appear in the 1840 census (Nicholas Co., KY). John (b.c. 1825), James Garret (b.c.1826), Miranda Ellen (b. 1829)William Barton (b. 8/15/1831). I am fairly confident about the names of William Barton's children. In the 1870 (Platte Co., MO) census, James is living with daughter Mary and Caroline Johnson (white/born in KY) and 3 "colored" Johnson children. In the 1877 atlas of Platte Co., J. Bellis heirs are listed as owning 60 acres. I have no information on John's heirs. Sorry about the double "senior moment." Diane
