All this from Connellsville, Fayette, Pennsylvania 1880 census page 61c!! Which proves that Descendants of Christian WERE in Fayette County! Just as that one descendant wrote to me about. Find her, tell her. May 2003

Not on the 1850. Wierd. Why not?
Not on the 1860. He would have been 14. Perhaps he was already in Fayette working as a coal miner or on the railroad.

Cornelius C age 1 on the 1860 in Plumcreek, Armstrong. Father John B and mother Sarah. Same?
