Subject: Migrations from Franklin County in the 1850's

Another researcher and I are trying to track down the whereabouts of Samuel
Reed, son of Samuel and Elizabeth Knepper Reed, in 1860. By 1862, "young
Sam" was in Missouri where he married. He doesn't seem to have been in
Missouri in 1860, however, nor was he still in Franklin county, Pa. He
shows up in this parents' home in the 1850 census.

Does anyone know of any strong movement west (or elsewhere) during that
decade? I know that a great many Franklin county families ended up in
DeKalb county, Il., at one point and another group went to Linn county, Iowa
in the 60's. Does anyone have any idea where best to look next?

Thanks!

Cheryll
