Sorry - I have not found them listed in TN 1870. ----- Original Message ----- From: <KayColorado@aol.com> To: <TN-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, 05 February, 2004 7:09 AM Subject: [TN-CENSUS-LOOKUP] 1870 - Unknown County BOLES -(alt sp. Bolles, Bowles, Bolls) | 1870 Federal Census Tennessee: I'm looking for three or possibly four young | Boles together in 1870. If not in the same household, they should be in close | proximity. | | Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the parents names but they may have been | orphaned (at least lost their father) by 1870 anyway. It should also be | upper-middle TN. I know that one of them, Mary Etta, married a John Warren from | Overton County about 1872/3. | | These three siblings (are together in Jefferson Co. IL showing TN birth and | TN parents. They were not in IL in 1870 and all evidence is that they were in | TN until at least 1875... they must be somewhere. | | BOLES: | | John BOLES - he should be approximately 16. | Mary Etta BOLES - (Or any variation, thereof.) She should be about 14 | Orlando BOLES - He would be about 7. See the note about the first name | below. | | Also.... | Walker BOLES - He would be about 10. I'm not certain he's a sibling but it | appears so. (In 1880, he is living with a McDonald family in Clay County.) | | The catch with Orlando is that he had at least 3 given names and may have | used a variation of Orlando, Lando or any of the various initials he uses later | in life. In later years, I've found him showing as: "J", J.L., J.O., | J.L.O. , J.O.L and as just O and just L. Figures, for a man called only "Sun" in | his adult life. | | If found, I need to know the information about the household(s) in which | they're living. | | Thanks very much in advance. | | Pam | | | ==== TN-CENSUS-LOOKUP Mailing List ==== | In the U.S., a census has been taken every 10 years from 1790 through 2000. All censuses taken after 1930 are still confidential and the information they contain is not open to the public. The census from 1790 through 1840 only named the head of the household and the numbers of people in categories - 3 males over 16, 2 males under 16, etc. The census from 1850 through 1930 lists each member of the household and usually gives the relationship to the head of the house. It also gives age (later years give birth month and year) and place of birth (usually just the state or foreign country). The 1890 census was almost totally destroyed by fire so there is a 20 year gap between 1880 and 1900. | CENSUS LOOKUPS HOME PAGE http://www.rootsweb.com/~censlook/ | | ============================== | Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration | Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
