I am looking for any information anyone may have on Bartlett McGinnis. I know that he was born in Fairfield Co around 1842 / 43. He is living with another family as a ward in the 1850 Census, marries in Hocking Co. in 1863, is living in Van Wert Co. in 1880, and his wife states that she is a widow in 1900.

Specifically I'm trying to establish a death date / location.

Also, If anyone has spotted him in the 1860 and 1870 Census I'd appreciate the tip.

Thanks!

Mindy
