QUESTION: CENSUS Race: White or Mulatto??
1850-1870 Missouri, USA On the 1850 Census, John was the only one on the page with the Race filled in. However, I think it looks like a W not an M. In the 1870 Census the entire page has the Race filled in and all are W. I think the 1850 was a transcription error
