Mar 18, 2015 at 16:39 comment added Jan Murphy It's true that the question has been heavily edited as we've tried to improve the question quality. However, in the body of the question, Amy asked specifically how to find vital records. That part of the question has never been changed, and that's why I felt that your answer, which only referred to the census candidates in Missouri, was a bit of a non-sequitur. If you don't have time to edit your question to add links to the census records in question, then PolyGeo or I or another community member can do so.

I gave the older Samuel's birth as between 1780-1790, so obviously he's not the child Samuel born in 1847, but maybe a brother to Joseph." to your answer would make it something that I would upvote.

Mar 18, 2015 at 6:49 comment added Rusty Erpenbeck Yes, this really is an answer. Before it was edited 14 times by you and others, his question was "Who were the parents of Samuel McReynolds? Any suggestions?" and these are suggestions. Three father candidates in Saline County at that time are Logan, David, and Samuel. I gave the older Samuel's birth as between 1780-1790, so obviously he's not the child Samuel born in 1847, but maybe a brother to Joseph.
Mar 15, 2015 at 17:09 comment added Jan Murphy Rusty, is this really an answer? A Samuel McReynolds on the census in 1830 and 1840 can't be the same as a Samuel McReynolds who was born in 1847, and your references to the older Samuel don't have links to the records on FamilySearch, or any of the other information about who might be in the household that would help someone figure out if the older Samuel might be the father of the younger one. Could you beef up this answer, please?
