I have been researching the Jacob Kuhn family of Leake Co, MS.I found a marriage record for Leake Co, MS on Ancestry.com for Jacob Kuhn and Julia R Trest on 8/7/1867.I then did a lookup on her name and found one
person had listed a Gabriel Trest as a brother of Julia's
born 1861.
I am curious about this.In the 1880 census in Leake Co, MS I found:
Dist 51118/115Indexed "KUHAR"
Jacob Kuhen73FarmerSwitzerland
Julia40MS SC MS
Gabe16MS Switz. MS
John11MS Switz. MS
I just assumed that since Gabe was older than their marriage date that he was a child from a previous marriage.He did continue to the use the name Kuhn
in later years.
After finding the info on Ancestry, I thought maybe he was Julia's child, but when I found the 1870 census Gabe was not listed with the family and they were living next
door to her parents and there wasn't a Gabe or Gabriel there either.

This marriage to Julia was Jacob's third.His second
was to an Isabella Smith.They had two children by
1860 Asa and Missouri.I have not found either of them
in the 1870 census either, but both married in Leake Co
shortly after that.
