I believe I found the 1860 census to which you refer. It has some strange listings, ie if Rebecca is his wife why is she listed 3rd? Who is the Elizabeth, Robert's older sister or sister-in-law? Why is she listed 2nd? I also found a Robert Spencer b. 1793 and Rebecca Shryer b. 1813 in the US & Internationsl Marriages as married in 1831 in Ohio which would fit with birth of children on the 1860 census. Also found a corresponding Robert and Rebecca on One World Tree. It indicates Robert died in 1862 in Fulton County. If true then probably Cuba as that is where he was in 1860. Maybe someone has the Cuba cemetery Books. I don't think I have been much help. but sometimes when someone else beats on the information a person can see it differently. Happy hunting. Ruth

Ruth, thanks for taking the time to post your response... As I hadn't seen the 1860 census (Just told that he was in the census) I didn't know that Elizabeth was listed 2nd... I am not sure who Elizabeth is.. He did have a sister-in-law by the name of Elizabeth but she was just two years older than Mary Catherine... Supposedly Robert's mother was an Elizabeth but with only 11 years difference between Robert and Elizabeth I don't think that would be her... Maybe Rebecca's mother?? I do not know who her parents were...

I have heard (don't have documentation) that Robert and Rebecca's marriage took place in 1831 in Knox County, Ohio... I have to find some documentation (haven't worked on that yet)...

So I am wondering who this Elizabeth is? I am going to have to add the Shryer (Rebecca's maiden name) to the fire so I can possibly answer who is Elizabeth was...

Anyway I appreciate you spending the time to post... It does help listening to others about it...

I did genealogy about 7 years ago for about 3 years then stopped... Now I am back at it... Of course this time I am doing one side at a time... there are enough surnames to keep me busy for quite a while...

I am still curious as to who that Elizabeth is...

Where in TX are you? I have found two lines went there also... well one went there and one was just living there for a short time...

The counties there are Lamar and McLennan (sp)...

Anyway thanks for the help!
