But, of course, it almost raises more questions than it answers.
It confirms my guess about the young man "Millener R" in the 1860 census being a brother and not someone named "R. Millener".
But Mary's name was supposed to be "Hannah", according to family tradition, and who is Christian?! A second wife? Not correctly placed, if so. A sister helping out with the family?
And the way I found it...
Goas is a horrible name to research. Even if the census person writes it down correctly (and it is Goos, Ghost, Goas in the records I have) the 'search engines' that are my bread and butter have the addition handicap of a secondary interpretation. So, and I swear I've tried this before, I typed in "Lewis" as a first name, said he was born 1837 +/-2 years in Pennsylvania. I got 871 hits. And then I started scanning.
Lewis Ghest came up, and bingo!
