Hi! I don't know that I can help you, but possibly we can help each other. I'm looking for information on a CHARLES HOAG who I believe was the s/o Alva L. and Mariah K. (Mensch) Hoag. They were married June 23, 1861, and Charles was b. 1864. I have not been able to find Alva and Mariah in any census. What time frame are you searching?
