Found Rebert L. Hartis
Just thought I would let you all know I found Robert Lee.I went in with several friends and we purchased the newly released National Census for 1880.I found Robert in Brownville and Whittens, Lee County, Alabama.He was 13 and listed as a laborer.He was living with his father, John who was 40, born in NC and listed as a farmer, and his 25 year old step-mother Hannah.He had 5 brothers and one sister still listed at home, Beauregard (18), Charles (16), William (11), Minnie (9), Kirby (7) and Rufus (5).These children must have all belonged to John's first wife (Susan) because their mother's birthplace is listed as AL, and they were all born in AL, and Hannah was born in NJ.There was also another Hartis in the same county, Martha A. age 27 and her 3 children Lula, James and Leta.
