Look up for 1850 and 1860 Census please.

Benejah Nordyke b. about 1795 TN or NC. Can anyone look up Benejah Nordyke in the 1850 United States Federal Census, he was in Greene, Clinton, Ohio.

In the 1860 United States Federal Census he was in Clinton, Ohio. I only have the index information for both years, I need household members, birth year, state.

Does anyone have knowledge of his spouse and / or children - birth, marriage, death and burial?

Thanks for any information.

Sincerely, jo

The 1882 Beers History of Clinton County, Ohio includes a biography of Cyrus Nordyke, who was one of Benejah's children. This biography indicates that Ann Johnson and Benejah Nordyke were married "here"--whether that means Clinton County specifically or Ohio generally I don't know. If you don't have access to this history, let me know and I'll transcribe the rather lengthy biography, and part of the biography of Asa Nordyke, Cyrus' cousin, for you.
