The head of the household was Theodore Kirby born Jan 1863 in IL, both parents also from IL, occupation Farmer. This is on Roll#T623_446, Page 258B. Pleasant Grove Township, Mahaska County, Iowa. Wife Ida, born Aug 1859 in IL, both parents also IL. It lists her as having 12 children, 10 living. The children's names do not necessarily match up with the sex indicated. Son, Dora (this is difficult to read) born Oct. 1879, IL - Daughter, Taylosia born Dec. 1883, IL - Son, born Apr.1886, IL - Son, Guy born Apr. 1888, IL - (no sex) Freda, born (no month) 1893 ,IL - Daughter, Lula, born Mar 1895, IL - (no sex) Hazel, born Jan 1898, IL. I am still looking for the Carver family you asked about, I will let you know about that later.
