  		1850 Henry Gines Census (1 of 2) 1850 Henry Gines Census Pages (1 of 2) from www.ancestry.com 1850 Census states he was a farmer and had $0.00. Allyson Tilton states they lived in Lawrence County, Illinois from at least 1840 - 1883. She states both of Esther's parents were born in Pennsylvania. We (Wanda Gines?) have her father being born in Baden, Germany. Per Jeanine Scholz: Christina, 9, born in IL Henry, 7, born IL Philip, 3, born IL Catharine, 4, born IL
  		1860 Henry Geines Census 1860 Henry Geines Census Pages. For years we could not find Henry Geines in the 1860 Census. The problem was that the name was spelled as Goins. From www.ancestry.com 1860 Olive Township, Lawrence Co, IL census records: Henry Goines, 48 years old, farmer, owns 3,500 acres, born in PA Easter, 47, born in Ohio Amanda, 21, born in Ohio Henry, 14, born in IL Philip, 13, born IL Catherine, 11, born IL Fannie, 9, born IL Easter, 2, born IL
  		1870 Henry Geines Census 1870 Henry Geines Census Page from www.ancestry.com. The names on this census page do not directly match the family given names or birthdates. The place and neighbors are correct compred to other censuses. We are guessing that a neighbor tried to fill in the information for the census taker and got the details wrong. ================ 1870 Olive Township, Lawrence Co, IL census records: This is a very strange census record and it is not clear what to make of it. This seems to be true for many census records in 1870 where either the family is missing, or has inaccurate information written about it. It appears as if the census taker did not go to the house but got information from neighbors. It seems likely that this is the correct Henry, partly due to the fact that the neighbors are the same as in the 1860 census records, but it cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Henry Guines, 50 years old, farmer, born in PA Susan, 47, born in PA David, 22, born in IL Maria, 19, born Il Martin, 16, born in Il Margaret, 12, born IL
  		1880 Henry Geines Census 1880 Henry Geines and Henry S. Geines Census Page from www.ancestry.com ================= Henry Geines: 1880 Lawrence Co, IL census records: Henry Gines, 67 years old, farmer, born in PA, both parents born in PA Easter, 66, born in PA, parents born in PA (this is obviously incorrect.) Catharine, 31, born IL Easter, 22, born in IL They are living a few houses away from Henry Silas Gines.
