Gloria, Thanks for the 1865 Illinois State census reference for our Reason Carnes.I did not have that and appreciate being able to place him in between the federal census years. At present I am relying on Araminta Carnes Spiker Steele's obituary to establish her maiden name of Carnes. Her obit. ran in the "LaHarper" Dec. 23, 1892 I believe I sent you a copy years back, or perhaps it was to Lena Truster.Araminta lives next door to Thomas Carnes in 1860 census in LaHarpe twp., Hancock Co., IL.This makes me feel pretty comfortable with her sibling status to Thomas and therefore a daughter of Reason and Elizabeth. I realize, not everyone has Araminta placed as daughter of Reason.That is where I am most comfortable with her. Research is ongoing. I keep a question mark by a lot of data in the hope further documentaion will come to light. Thank you for your interest and your help. Connie Smith Cave
