County lines aren't drawn on the ground and unless they were very familiar with the area, they could've written down the wrong information. I found one of my Langley families listed both in Tipton County and Howard County in the same year. They were visited by two different census takers, one in each county, and both took slightly different information, like one took middle initials, one didn't. There were other differences that leads me to believe they each spoke to a different member of the household when they visited. This family lived right on the Howard / Tipton County line. This is probably no different than typical spelling errors found in census records. Those were probably very long days, so I'm not surprised at the mistakes that were made. Well, that's my take on a possible reason for the listing of a Green Township, Howard County. I hope this helps. Rich Langley Kokomo, Indiana

Hello, Dee: I went to Ancestry Com and cut and pasted the below information. I checked my source. Although, I have seen the microfilm of the original document at the Fort Wayne, IN, library. I can't figure it out. I don't think my grandfather moved. I think the County Line moved. He settled in Point Isabel, IN, which is in Grant County, Greene TSP. But in 1850, the census has him in Howard County, Greene TSP. I have tried to find out if the County Line moved, but I have not been able to discover any information.

The Howard County Memory Project was created in 2002. The Greentown Public Library, the Howard County Historical Society, and the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library have a shared interest in preserving local historical materials and want to make those materials available to as many people as possible. Together, the three organizations are known as the Howard County Digitization Consortium; in this first year, the Consortium will begin by digitizing Howard County High School Yearbooks, 1901-1950. We are interested in borrowing books (or having them donated) from the following towns or townships in Howard County: Union, Jackson, Howard, Clay, Ervin, New London, West Middleton, or Russiaville. Please contact any of the organizations listed above, or respond to this posting.

Surnames: Bailey Boswell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fi.2ADE/1052 Message Board Post: Hello, My ggrandfather Joseph Addison Bailey was born in 1845 in Howard County, Greene Township in Indiana. His family is on the 1850 census. His grandmother was Peninah Boswell Bailey, an abolitionist Quaker and daughter of Ruth Bailey Boswell, the Quaker preacher that started the Stillwater Ohio meeting. Joseph, Peninah and Peninah's son, Levi all moved to Guthrie Center Iowa and Peninah is buried there in a Quaker cemetary. Joseph joined the Union effort during the Civil War there and eventually was discharged at Bird's Point LA. He eventually moved to Spokane Washington (by 1880) got married and had my grandmother, Betty Ruth Bailey. My family is now all near the Portland/Vancouver area. I cannot figure out from the census record who was Joseph's father. Also, if anyone knows this family better, please drop me a line. Thank you. Anne Bailey
