I do not have hardly any information. The census I have is the 1880 census. All it says is that she was born in Kentucky, no town or county listed. It says her father's birthplace was North Carolina and her mother's was Kentucky, but again, no town or county.

She moved, either before or after getting married, to Kansas. The 1880 census is from Olathe, Johnson, Kansas. Her first two children are listed as being born in Missouri, but the last eight were born in Kansas. That's all I have. I am trying to figure the general time of her birth by subtracting her age off of the census report. I know that is unreliable, but am hoping it gets me in the general time frame. She was supposedly 41 in 1880.

I have been looking at Kentucky census records in the hopes of spotting something, but without names, dates, cities, or counties, its like looking for a needle in a haystack!
