We have been trying to clear up this family. We cannot find them in 1860. The 1850 census told us that there were two wives. Does this fit with anyone? Help please.

Head of the family would be Thomas Ignatius Carrico and his wife could be
Rachel (Kirk) or Elizabeth "Betsy" Jane (Rea).

These are the Censuses I have.
