Research Notes

The 1850 census transcribed record, as shown by Ancestry and FamilySearch, says that Nathan and Sarah, with their 5 children, were in the home of another neighbor, James McCraw, family of 8. A look at the census page shows this is possible, but not likely the case; they are listed in separate dwellings (numbers 1352 and 1353), but written as the same family (number 1358). It seems most likely the census-taker just repeated the number. Weatherall-96 04:45, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
