Thanks so very much, Sue! Don't go to any additional trouble if you don't recall, but could Sarah Harper's neighborhood be determined from other family names surrounding them in the 21st District? Might it have been Ten Mile? Looking again at Wes Cochran's book "1850 Harrison Co. Census", I saw that the author had made note of some other duplications & skips by the census taker, so I highlighted those remarks in the book for my future reference. (See his remarks on pages 48, 51, 54. Don't forget the duplication of families mentioned in my last email on Pages 64 & 108 - from "Prichard to Harper" (same nine families). Another question: Was the Jackson Cemetery documented by someone on the List? I am curious to know if the James Harper and Henry Harper stones are still in tact. I promised a descendant I would try for a picture on my next trip home, if so. Thanks.... <Sharon>< Sharon Sprouse Bramhall

I haven't seen the book, since I have a copy of the census that William H Boyce and I did back in the 60's from the actual census. The census taker had several number messed up in the 909- to 917 which was the end of the 21st District. By the looks, the census taker might have been having to much to drink taking the census or else not feeling good. We will never know. There are three groups of the section that is messed up. 907 missing 908 missing 909 missing 909 Jonathan Randolph 911 Isaac Randolph 912 missing 913 Peter F Randolph 914 Phineas F Randolph 915 George Miller 916 Thomas H Bartlett Now, notice the numbering on the rest of these. Some appear to be the missing numbers from earlier, some are repeated numbers with different people. These are copied as given. 907 Waldo P Goff 908 Thomas A Horner 909 Alpheus W Prichard 910 Ira Hart 911 John Core 912 John Carpenter 913 Mary Picheral 914 James Steel 915 George McAtel 916 Samuel Brown 917 Sarah Harper 907 J M Cook 908 David Fox 909 Henry Towles 910 Jonathan Randolph (repeat) 911 Isaac Randolph (repeat) 912 Hiram Mitchell Sue Moore -----Original Message----- From: bramhall@earthlink.net [mailto:bramhall@earthlink.net] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 9:46 PM To: HCGS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [HCGS] *1850 census taker errors;Jackson Cem-Harper Thanks so very much, Sue!
