Research Notes

• For some unknown reason, the 1860 Slave Schedule that reported Joshua T. Hardy (8 Aug 1860, stamped number 385, page 73) omitted the Color column on the page, except for 2 Mulatto people in a different family. Therefore all of these people are presumed to be understood as "Black". In addition, the census taker only coded the Sex column as Female; the others, presumably Male, were left blank.
