I have a little project going and I can use your help. In examining the 1850 Barren County census, I have noted 4 instances of a child's age being given in days (ie. 3/365), and in 8 instances the age given as two weeks (ie. 1/24). Then there are numerous instances of children one month old. The census taker was supposed to base the age on a certain date in 1850, but I've been curious to know how closely he stayed to it. Below are listed all of the individuals I've located who were one month or younger in the 1850 Barren County census. If you know for certain when one of these children were born (month and day), please let me know. I am not researching anything about them other than their birthdate. Thanks.
