Family Tree - 1880 The Hanes & Sutton's

According to the 1880 US Census, the Tompson's were now the Sampson's and the Hanes. The family live in Lincoln County Louisiana and was composed of:

• Rose Sampsom widowed and age 33
• Dan Hanes age 20. Dan was married and worked as farm labor
• Marthy (Martha) Hanes age 22. She was married and a housekeeper.
• Elton Hanes age 4. He was Rose's grandson.
• Della Hanes age 18. Della was single and worked as farm labor
• Alice Hanes age 15. Alice was single and worked as farm labor. (See picture below - Alice Tompson Coleman)
• Chaney Hanes age 13. Chaney was single and worked as farm labor.
• Bella Hanes age 12. She was single and worked as farm labor
• S. Sampson age 10. She was Rose's daughter and single.
• Elizia Sampson age 8. She was listed as Rose's daughter.

The Sutton's lived nearby.

• Lewis was 69 and his wife Huldy was 37.

Rose, Lewis and Huldy could not read or write. No one was blind, deaf, dumb, idiotic or otherwise disabled. I wonder if the spelling of "Hanes" was the family spelling or the census taker's spelling.

Family Tree - The Wards

This is what I think, but don't know for sure. In 1870 the Ward's were in Upshur County, Texas. Members of the household were:
Nelson, 36
Emily, 36
Moses, 21
Lizzie, 16
John, 14
Walter, 12
Ella, 10

The 1870 census didn't give relationship between people in the household. Given their age, Nelson and Moses could have been brothers. Does any one know? Does anyone know if this is the right Moses Ward?

Family Tree -The Bohannons

In 1870 the Bohannons lived in Precint 5, Bowie, Texas. Powell Grove was the local Post Office. There were four in the family:

Benj, born about 1805 in Virginia. His race was Black
Kitty, born about 1807 in Virgnia. She was Mulatto.
Thomas J., born about 1857 in Alabama. He was Mulatto
Amanda, born about 1857 in Alabama. She was Mulatto also.

Does anyone know if Amanda and Thomas were twins? Were Benj & Kitty the grandparents.

The Family Tree - The Tompsons & Suttons

So where were the Haynes in 1870. . . in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, of course, probably in Arcadia.
Here's a surprise, in 1870 the family name was not Haynes; it was Tompson.
They were:
Alace (Alice) Tompson, born about 1865 in Louisiana
Billar(Bella)Tompson, born about 1863 in Louisiana
Dannie (Daniel) Tompson, born about 1860 in Louisiana
Rose Tompson, born about 1840 in Florida.

And where was Grandma Haynes? According to the 1870 census, the Tompson's neighbor were:

Hulda Sutton, born about 1842 in Mississippi.
Lewis Sutton, born about 1810 in Mississippi
Martha Sutton,born about 1857 in Louisiana.

I think Martha Sutton was Grandma Haynes.
