There would be a list of about 30 females, then a list of about 30 males, all ages. There must have been a good 200 to 300 people. I was looking in Ancestry.com 1850 Ky Mercer Co. Dist 1 281, 282, 283 etc. At first I though it was several poor farms, then, from this message board found the Shakers; could this have been a listing of the people in Pleasent Hill? Could there be Shakers on my family Tree. Anyone know about the Seathers family, found several listed in this area. Penny Perry Kenmore, Washington
