Julia 14 F W At School GA Cornell 13 M W At School GA Lawson C. 11 M W At Home GA Joshua W. 10 M W At School GA Nancy 17 F W At School GA Redmond W. 10 M W At Home GA Note: Cornell age 13, Lawson C. age 11 and Nancy 17 above are the children of Matilda Perdue and her first husband James Connell. Also note that in the 1860 census Nancy is listed as 6 months old. I believe the age for Nancy should read age 11 not 17 on the above 1870 census. ************************************************************************* Source Information: 1880 Census Place District 77, Jefferson, Georgia Family History Library Film 1254154 NA Film Number T9-0154 Page Number 156B Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Caleb A.
