Genealogy/Census inquiry?
I am searching for information on Esmerelda Bryant listed in the 1860 Cincinnati, Hamilton Co. Ohio census. She is also listed in the 1870 census, same place. Her father is listed as Isac Bryant [Isaac] mother Mary. and a few brothers and sisters. I'm trying to establish weather she is the Essie Bryant of that county who married Robert W. Logan in 1876 or 1877. All the dates seem to match. Do you know anything about this family? In the 1870 census, she is listed as Ezzie. Not too big a jump to Essie which is the name my grt. grandmother went by. This census has Mary as head of household. I would like copies of these two census records. Sure would appreciate any help you might afford.

- Have you tried ancestry.com? I've been able to view census records on there.
- check your local library's homepage. If they subscribe to heritagequest you can use if for free from home with your library card. Then you can print the pages that you want.
You need to remember that most of the census takers didn't have much education so spelling will be off on a lot of names.
Not many people had an education back then.
Your local library may also subscribe to ancestry. If they do you would have to use it at the library for free.
good luck
- There is another researcher that has a tree on Rootsweb that includes information about your Essie Bryant Logan.
You might try emailing them personally and see if you can make a connection.
- I think that it sounds very much like Essie,was mis-spelled in the latter census form, often the spelling of names varied between census years and enumerator's, my husband has an ancestor who had the first Zephania, which varied between Zacariah, Sephania, Zephoniar, but because the name was so unusual we knew we had the right one in the 1901 census. I will email you the documents if you contact me through my profile email address, I have access to them. Would you just clarify, name , year, state, and what ever information you would like.
Hope this helps you.
