      December 3, 1999:
      Discovers Fred and Nancy on the 1850 USA Census for Virginia.Interestingly, it appears that James Mastin and family lived next doorto Fred and Nancy. It also appears likely that the neighbor on theother side of Fred and Nancy was the family of one of their sons(Paul). So, it is likely that Paul and Delialah are brother/sister.

      According to a search of the 1840 USA Census for Virginia, Frederickcan be found on the microfile sheet for: Thrasher, Frederick VAROANOKE CO. page 223 in 1840. He can also be found (possibly) asThrasher, Frederick in the 1810 US Census for VA BOTETOURT CO. Page662 1810 Age Ranges 22010-2001002 (whatever that means). Also on page136 of the 1830 US Census for Virginia (1830 US Census, FrederickThrasher in VA County BOTETOURT CO Page 321 Year 1830)

      Found the following information at Ancestry.Com. Some of this may befor a son with the same name, or may be unrelated. Some appears to bethe correct Frederick Thrasher.

      Found in American Civil War Soldiers database:
      Frederick Thrasher, served in Illinois. Enlisted 6 Oct 1861 at therank of Private in the Union Army

      Also found was a Civil War Pension record for Frederick Thrasher(Image number 4217) Ancestry.com - Individual Database Search Results. This index card contains the name of the Civil War soldier(occasionally listed with alias) and the names of any dependents suchas a widow, child, etc. Also listed in the service section of the cardwill be the unit or units where the soldier served, usuallyabbreviated ("cav" for cavalry, "inf" for infantry, "vol" forvolunteer, and so on). The bottom half of the card will list dates offiling and certificate numbers, which researchers will use if theyrequest the full casefile from the National Archives and RecordsAdministration.

      The card appears to identify Frederick Thrasher as a soldier, whosefather is John Thrasher. His service was (maybe) K.6. Ill (Illinois)Cav. The Date of filing appears to be 1882 Oct 20. I can't read thenext word, but it appears that the application number is 297719.

      What Do I Do Now?
      Remember than an index entry is only a reference to more detailedinformation found in census records themselves. It is important thatresearchers consult the actual census records to which these indexesrefer. All available census schedules, from 1790 to 1920, have beenmicrofilmed and are available at the National Archives in Washington,D.C., at the National Archives' regional archives in twelve states, atthe LDS Family History Library and LDS family history centersthroughout North America, at many large libraries, and throughmicrofilm lending companies. Some state and local agencies may havecensus schedules only for the state or area served.
