Carol – Your Rachel Betts may be the daughter of James J. and Leah Betts identified in Kim Mitchell’s GenForum Betts message 513.There are some differences about her birthday, but that may be mistaking christening dates for birth dates.Minos and Rachel Dolby are listed with their children on page 343B of the 1880 census of Pickaway Co., OH.Rachel was 51 when the census was taken in June and would have been 52 in December 1800.Rachel’s family lived in Broad Creek Hundred of Sussex Co., DE .They are listed on page 384 of the 1820 census.That census does not list Minos by name, however, on page 386, it does list Ann Dolby with a male in his age group in her household.The only other Dolby family in the 1820 census of Broad Creek is Isaac Dolby on page 394; however, the only other male in his household is too young to be your Minos/Minus Benjamin. There are many, many Betts families in the census.I can provide more info on Rachel Betts family if it will help.David Carey ([email protected])
