Trying to find my family
Can someone please help me, I'm trying to locate my family, someone gave me a 1850 census of Madison Township, Guernsey County, Ohio. The families I'm trying to locate is The Lukens and Adair's. Below is the listing I received. The next census that I was able to get was 1880 Princeton, Gibson County, Indiana. I'm missing 20 years, and the Lukens head of house (husband).

**Rachel Lukens (26) b. Ohio**my ggg/grandmother **seeking her husband's name** widowed by 1880
Rebecca J. Lukens (7) b. Ohio md. Mr. Hulbert widowed by 1880
Hannah E. Lukens (4) b. Ohio
Millard H. Lukens (1) b. Ohio
Visit No. 385
George Adair (27) b. Ohio
Mary A. Adair (29) b. Pennsylvania
Presuming Adair is Rachel Lukens maiden name, and listed with her and as neighbors, are her sibilings. But can't find Rachel and family from 1860-1870. Rachel was a widow by 1880 so was Rebecca J. Lukens her dau. Rebecca had a son listed with her in the 1880 census, his name was Henry E. Hulbert b. abt 1865, he was 16 years old.
I know Rachel Lukens husband was still living in 1855 in Ohio because she had twin sons in Sept of that year. Their names were,
David Way LUKENS** my gg/grandfather***
and
Ray Fredrick LUKENS
David was also known as Way by his family. He was listed as Way LUKENS on the 1880 census. But as David W. LUKENS, SR. in 1900 in St. Louis, MO.
If anyone has any info on the Adair and or Lukens family listed here, I'd be extremely greatful if you were willing to share. And hopefully help me put to rest this hugh brick wall that I am slamming into.
Thanks for reading my message.
Sincerly,
Tina
