Thanks for what clearly took more work on your part!

But let me make sure I understand exactly what you found. This IS Coles Co. 1870 census?

Martha Bastion wouldn't be part of NS's immediate family, but she could well be a neice. NS's father and siblings were in IN from 1821 on and I can trace some of his siblings there but not all of them. I've always wondered how NS got from IN to IL, because he was only 19 0r 20 when he got there, where I know he was in 1830. I've always wondered if he came with an older brother, one of whom I can't find anywhere. There are many Bastions in IN, many fewer in IL south of Chicago. So this Martha could be NS's neice, and you may have found someone else I'm interested in. Thanks!

The other thing I'm unclear about is your reference to IA. Reading your message, I don't see any of the people noted as having been b. in IA.

Can you clarify that this is the Coles Co. 1870, and your reference to IA, and why it means IN?

Thanks,
Doris
