Question

I can't give you a link but check the 1850 US census,  Richmond County Georgia,  Charles McCoy.

The census taker has over 100 people living in the same house . No, it's not an institution or anything . On the actual census forms , he dittoed everybody from CHARLES on down as one family.

A little too much hooch from a warm jug back behind the barn  , hmmmmmm

Was they Blackstone's living in the house with Charles McCoy? and what we say round here is if you ant no kin to a Blackston you will be one day. Lol

No, not living with McCoys. Small town, though. Could have been some

canoodling after church services down in the stable, you think ?

Answer 1

OH JEEZ!!!!

Answer 2

Sure, Eddie. Here's how it all probably went down.

The hapless census taker in his 1850s style stovepipe hat stumbled upon Charles's house. Cautiously, the census taker knocks on the door to a farmhouse. He hears noises inside. It sounds like a party was happening!
He then realized it was noon and that there were empty kegs of moonshine on the premises.

Old man Chuck McCoy finally answers the door. He's wearing overalls and smells like he had been rolling in dirt all day when in fact he had been wrestling his pig, Hoss.

"Yeah? Whaddya want?" Charles asked. "You ain't one o them Hatfields are ya?"

"No." The census taker shook his head and peaked inside and saw 99 people inside the house. "I'm uhh taking a census."

"Well, shoot. Why didn't ya say so?" The man smiled and he was missing at least eight teeth. "Come on in and Ah'll introduce ya to mah kin!"

The brave census taker took a step inside and counted all one hundred people.

"These all your relatives?" he man asked.
"Sure... You want some moonshine?"
"No...I....think I'll be going. Thanks for taking part in US history!"

The more genealogy research I do, the more I find that everyone was canoodling with everyone--mostly on the sly. And we wonder why some of our trees are so messed up!
