Patricia, feel free to email me directly at rmagickd@yahoo.com.

I do have a subscription to Ancestry, the regular collection and census collection. [NOne of the the immigration or foreign genealogy stuff.] I can look up the kids [as adults] in the federal censuses if you like.

Cambria Co., PA also has several cemeteries online. I was doing the research of this family and others [Comey, O'Rourke, McGough, etc.] for a friend, and found a lot of info online. I can pass those websites on to you if you haven't already come across them.

I am surprised that the father, John Kearns, lived to 1864. I wonder why all his kids either moved out on their own, or he left the home, by the 1850 census. I will have to check the 1850 and 1860 censuses again for the father. I assume he died [or at least his Will was probated] in Cambria Co.?

And his 2nd wife died young too...as I said in my prior email, it appears his 1st wife [approx 15-20 yrs older than the wife enumerated at 1830 census] died between 1820-1830, and he remarried before the 1830 census. Looking at the dates of birth of all the kids, it may give us a better idea of when the wife died, assuming there is a larger age gap than usual between 2 of the kids.

I notice you didn't put a date of birth for sons Isaac and Abraham---at the 1850 census they were both listed as being 10 yrs old, thus twins and the youngest of the children.

...Kim
