Surnames: William Jackson Perry line Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UAB.2ACE/1743 Message Board Post: In the 1860 KY Anderson Co. census, I came across William Jackson Perry and his wife Cahterine, who at this time were 69 and 70 respectively; living with what appears to be other families. I don't know exactly how to describe this but it looks like a home for people with limited options. Here is the list: William & Catherine Perry ages 69 and 70 their youngest son Christopher who was 27 some one named Francis Perry age 19 Then there was Benjamin Faremano (?) aged 56 a Margaret Faremano (?) aged 68 Benjamin Faremano aged 18 George Faremano aged 14 William E. Peters aged 61 Agnes Peters aged 58 Louise Peters aged 28 Lucy S. Peters aged 26 Julia A. Peters aged 24 Living next door to this group was another Peters family William and his wife Mary aged 28 and 26 It looks like to me that there was William and Catherine would at their age could have been infirm, and Benjamin and Margaret who could be infirm, and William and Agnes who could have been infirm, and for each pair there were some young folks to care for them. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what could have been going on here? Penny Perry Kenmore, Wa
