      Townsend 30 - where are his children???

      1870 Elk, Kanawha, WV #193
      Mace, Townsend 40 VA now WV
      Sarah A 39 OH
      Lucettia 16 VA now WV
      Jacob 14 VA now WV
      Louisa 10 VA now WV

      Truman, Warren 15 VA now WV
      Wesley 20 VA now WV

      1880 Elk, Kanawha, WV # 26-27
      Mace, Townsend 51 WVWVWV
      Sarah A 51 OHOHOH
      Almeda 16 da WVWVOH
      Andrew 11 son
      Truman, Warren 22 ss WVWVOH

      If Sarah Jane died in 1858, who is the mother of Louisa and Allie/Almeda? Are their ages totally wrong? Louise could have been born when Sarah died, but that leaves Allie/Almeda. Sarah Lyons Truman lived at # 1304 in 1860, are the girls hers? Confusing family.
