    1. [GATALBOT] Mass migration out of county in 1840-1850 time period?
    2. It seems a lot of large landowners on the 1840 Census are not around in 1850. Was there a major outmigration during this period. Anybody have a clue? Thanks. Tom

    3. This is a great question....and might be a clue to some marriages, as families moved together. If you get an answer, please do share it with the list. Also why don't you add your names to the Migration Project....maybe a pattern will emerge Also keep in mind though that surrounding counties were being formed and taken from Talbot. Taylor was created in 1852 for instance. So the families may not have moved at all, just in a different county for the next census. I would assume that the movement was towards the west....AL, MS, TX...

    3. I have a Thomas Dixon Family that appeared in Talbot Co in time for the 1840 Census and for at least one daughter to get married that year. They were not listed in the 1850 Census as it appeared on-line, I don't know how complete it was. It is possible that Thomas died before 1850 but his wife Salathia's obituary shows that she died in 1852 and was "of Talbot Co". If she was living with a daughter's family she should be listed somewhere.

    3. I think it is possible that many of the children of the families who were in Talbot Co. in the 1830s and 1840s grew up and acquired their own land as it became available in the territories. I believe that is what happened with my family.
