Thank you so much.That's very interesting. I checked 23 and me to see if I was related to anyone with the surname Track just now. Awaiting results for my Ancestry.com DNA profile. In the actual written census I could see the real names. They have her listed as "Revery" but it's really Carry. The boy is Eliot, they have him as Elwin. I can't seem to find out what happened to any of the children besides Jeannette, who is my great great grandmother.

Thank you so much Betty!
