My brickwall: Robert & Mary Lashly, born MD & VA-to OH to LA
For the past few of years, I've had to put aside my search for family history, but I now have the time to start back in on the quest for my ancestral past and I guess it's best to start with my brickwall, which is, and has been, my mother's paternal Lashley line.
I can trace my Lashley line back to a Robert Lashley, born in Md., and his wife, Mary, born in VA, (maiden name unknown).
The family first shows up in the 1840 Muskingum Co, OH census.
By the 1850 census, Robert (a blacksmith)& Mary Lashley were living in Franklin,St. Mary Parish, LA., with their children (all born in OH),
Charles Lashley, 13
Charlotte Maria Lashley, 11
Robert Arnold Lashley, 9
Eveline Lee Lashley, 7
Medary P. Lashley, 4
William Lashley, 3
Robert Lashley, his wife, Mary, along with a son,Charles, 17 born Muskingum, OH,died in New Orleans, LA in the 1853 Yellow Fever epidemic.
After the death of Robert & Mary Lashley, none of the children show up in census records until the 1870 New Orleans, LA census. One of the daughters, Charlotte Maria Lashley,married a Thomas Arthur Latham in 1859 in VA.I believe, but have no proof,that Charlotte may have gone to live with her mother's family after her parents died in 1853. But since I don't have a maiden name for Mary Lashley, I don't know who that family might be.
What puzzles me are the middle names that were given to some of their children.

Mary ELIZABETH Lashley-(died Nov.1846 at Marble Cliff farm, Columbus,Ohio)
Robert ARNOLD Lashley,
Eveline LEE Lashley

I know this is a long shot, but in looking at the middle names of some of the children (Elizabeth, Arnold and Lee),I'm wondering if there is someone out there whose Lashley research may possibly link aRobert Lashley, born about 1808-1810 in Maryland, to an Arnold Lashley and Elizabeth Lee family.
Any help on this line would be greatly appreciated.
