Dear Barbara, Shuck, wish it wasn't so!! I have been told many time that you do not take the census literally like a Bible and that mistakes could be known. Barbara, I was very excited when I had found Julia A. Boyd in Greene County, Arkansas. Her father, Levi Boyd, and mother, Susannah Braden Boyd, was in 1850 Arkansas Census, then Levi Boyd died in 1860, then in 1860 Arkansas Census, it show just Susannah Boyd with her family. So somewhere Susannah Braden Boyd had married to unknown Boyle, possible his first name is John. Well, I better get off and get ready for work. Barbara, thank again for letting me know what it said on Julia, Hiram, and William Boyd's birthplaces. Have a best Christmas ever.

There is reference to Unicey A. (Braden) Durham as the wife of Isham P. Durham and their son B.A. Durham in the "Five County History" (Saline Co. ) 1887. Re: Unicey being born in Saline Co. in 1835.. Multiple listings of Boyles, Boyds, Bradens in Hamilton, Gallatin and Saline Co. I did not find references to birthplaces, at least at first glance..

Teresa, In the copy of the 1870 Census that I have, it shows all of the persons residing in this household have Illinois as their place of birth. The ages of everyone match the ages you have. Could be the census taker may have made an error in the birthplace. It did happen from time to time. Hope this is of some help to you.
