I just looked at the 1850 census again for James and Evaline.  I don't think they were just married within the year.  The census taker used check marks to indicate adults, which I misread as being just married.  Sorry for the mistake.---Genealiza

genealiza, thanks for the census information on Eliza Myers.  I believe she is the ancestor I am looking forward.  Family info has her name as Elza.  We are now headed in the right direction, I believe.  thanks again.  slburns.
