I just replied to a different posting on the parents of George Grosvenor (sp?) and had to reply to this one, too.I found George "Vinea" on the 1870 Franklin Co., Arkansas census as follows:
1870 Census:Arkansas, Franklin Co., White Oak Twp., image 50 of 54 (ancestry.com) Name on index is "Vinea" which, I suppose, would make sense phonetically if the emphasis in the pronunciation was on the 2nd syllable (gos-VI-ne-a)
Venia, George age 29; white; male; farmer; pob Indiana
Venia, Margaret age 21; white; female; keeping house; pob Mississippi
Venia, Mary age 1; white; female; pob Arkansas
Venia, Eliza age 3/12 (born April 1870); white; female; pob Arkansas
Grosvener, Martha age 20; white; female; house keeper; pob Missouri
Wisdom Dicie age 27; female; white; at home; pob Tennessee (could she be Margaret's sister??)
So I looked on the 1860 Franklin Co., Arkansas census for the Wisdom family and they are on the page right before the Gosveners!Check out 1860 Census, Arkansas, Franklin Co., White Oak Twp image 50 of 54 at ancestry.com.There is a J.M. Wisdom family living next door to a William Wisdom family.I believe the J. M. Wisdom family is Ruth M Gosvenor's family.Please let me know what you think.
