Taken from a surname list of the 1850 Census of Henry Co., there is a Sarah YOUNG, 383, 15th Civil District; and a William WALKER, 385, 15th Civil District. I am wondering if these could be my Sarah and William. Does anyone have the 1850 census of Henry County in more detail? Am I correct in assuming these two lived close together? By 1877 they were married and living in Lawrence Co. Missouri. Perhaps there could be some marriage lists around. There is also family history to suggest that one or both could be part Cherokee.

HANKINS, ROACH, DANIEL, BESHIRES, BOSHERS
I have a very old picture, that was given to me by my grandfather William Marse BESHIRES's sister. This picture is of my great grand mother & father, Lucinda DANIEL & Christopher Columbus "Lum" BESHIRES, sometimes spelled BESHIERS, BOSHERS, or BRASHERS.In this picture, my grandmother is wearing a Native Amer. dress and her hair is in 2 braids. She also has a bead necklace on. I am at a lose as to which nation she belongs. Her mother was Nancy "Nann" HANKINS and father James William DANIEL. He was from Madison Co. I think that she got her Native Amer. heritage, through her mother, as tradition dictates. I also have a picture of Lucinda's sister, Alice HENSON, in a dress that appears to be of Native Amer. in nature. Is there anyone who can help me with this, by looking at the style of these dresses? I can send pictures via e-mail. Lum and Lucinda were married in Hardeman Co. on 4-11-1891 d! .Chester Co. Lum's parents lived in Hardin Co., at Shiloh Park, in the peach orchard cabin,1862.Please help with any history of these surnames.
