Census - 1850 - 1860 - 1870 - 1880

 

Note:

 

In 1870 census Nathanl is the same person in 1880 census as N. Studdard, b. abt. 1844, South Carolina, Ezolida died in 1878, the day of the birth to Mary Prudence.  Below you will see also 2 sons listed in 1870 in 1880, Thomas A. & Samuel H. Studdard.  Make note that in both census years, the name is spelled and indexed as Studdard.

 

Also looking at the images for Mercer's and Stoddard's, the name Whitaker is prominent.  And at this time I am betting that Ezolida, is a Whitaker, call it a hunch.  By chance I found a Ezolida Josephine Whitaker (daughter of Henry Fletcher Whitaker and Margaret Sophia Miller) was born June 12, 1876 in Illinois, and died August 31, 1948 in Illinois, Alexander County.  I know the birth years are off, but feel Ezolida is a Whitaker because of the given name of Ezolida.

Southern Loyalists in the Civil War - About this book

Source: A Composite Directory of Case Files Created by the U.S. Commissioner of Claims, 1871-1880, Including Those Appealed to the War Claims Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Court of Claims.  Gary B. Mills

Description:
Six years after the end of the Civil War, Congress created the Southern Claims Commission, through which pro-Union Southerners could apply for reimbursement of some of their losses. Some 22,298 cases were filed by individuals, family groups, churches, and businesses, and the adjudication of these suits created a vast store of historical data that is now maintained by the National Archives. Among other things, these case files include such items as family letters and Bibles, wills and probate records, personal accounts, and property inventories...a motherlode of genealogical data.

The present work is a "master index" to the case files of the Commission, and it is the only viable means of unlocking the vast trove of records it generated. The index gives, in tabular form, the name of the claimant, his county and state, the Commission number, office number and report number, and the year and the status of the claim.
