They don't show up in the 1840 census, so I've concluded they were gone by then. No aging parents to care for -- all siblings settled -- no reason to stay, I guess. (PS -- some of the siblings went with them, as I'll discuss in the coming weeks. Shh don't tell.)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-68130684693386908142014-03-13T07:39:49.023-04:002014-03-13T07:39:49.023-04:00Oh, I'm sure with caring for your aunt and doi...Oh, I'm sure with caring for your aunt and doing a little research, you had many an adventure on the National Road.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-43640516282751241162014-03-13T07:39:02.032-04:002014-03-13T07:39:02.032-04:00No doubt you were a pioneer!
