Hi Taney County researchers. I volunteered a couple of years ago to transcribe the 1850 Taney County Federal Census for the U.S. Gen Web census transcription project, but I was having a tough time making it to a local Mormon FHC to view the microfilm. This summer I managed to get a CD of the census images, so I have been working every chance I get to get it transcribed. I am over 1/3 of the way finished!! YAH!!! Some pages are hard to read and some names hard to make out. Maybe someone could help me with this page. I am putting a small section of the page here : http://www.alaska.net/~dlogan/362a.gif Could you take a look and see if you can guess what the name may be?? I have thought of BLEVINS or BINSEN or ?? The head of the house is listed on the previous page 361b : "Flat" Township, Taney County, Missouri Dwelling and Family #297 B ????? J. 36 M Farmer 400 Missouri Page 362a says : "Washington" Township, Taney County, Missouri Dwelling and Family #297 (assumed) B ????? M. 26 F Missouri B ????? S. 7 F Missouri B ????? R. 5 M Missouri B ????? J. P. 3 M Missouri B ????? J. 1 M Missouri B ????? E. 1 F Missouri Age Column also says "Tns" (Twins?) SMITH M. J. 12 F Missouri The enumerator was not real clear when he moved from Township to Township, so this happens several times that part of a family is listed on a page as being in one place and the rest of the family on the next page is listed in another place.... It would probably be better to E Mail me direct with your thoughts, at : MAILTO:[email protected] If you reply to the list, PLEASE don't forward the entire message!
