      Description: I'm researching Alexander Breckenridge, Jr.'s descendents from his daughter Malinda. I see you have the 1850 census which includes Alexander and Malinda. From what I've found, there are errors in the listing that you may be interested in. Thomas Louis is actually Malinda's son Thomas W.A. Lewis (my 2nd greatgrandfather). Margaret Louis is Margaret Lewis, his wife, nee Margaret E Martin. AR Breckenridge is probably Alexander's son by Margaret Tempy, Alexander Randy (b. 1846). The other two children are Margaret and Thomas Lewis', Susan M. Lewis (1848), Almira J. Lewis (1850). If you are interested in what I have, please contact me. I'd love to compare notes since I'm hitting a brick wall tracing the Lewis line back from Malinda's husband Thomas Lewis, who died around the time his son was born.
