My first take was that this was Rachel RAWLINGS. Thanks for the confirmation of the correct name. I got a copy of the supposed index of this census at the library to correct/confirm my interpretation of the names. Obviously on some of the below neither the ones creating the index or myself could get it correct. >Line #2 Stephen THURMAN (s/o Philip THURMAN and Kesiah KIRKLAND) - his >wife is Elizabeth "Betty" ROGERS d/o of William ROGERS and Rossannah >HEARD.

As I said, my dog I think, could do about as well as the original census taker. I'll see about putting in variations. Thanks for your input Donna. Tim

You almost have to know who you are looking for to decipher it. Then you have to compare the letters to letters in the names that you know are right. I have a transcription at home of the 1830, 1840, and 1850 Census which has many, many mistakes in it (I have written all over it) - I think it takes a team of about 10 people to decipher these censuses. > > >Line #4 George SAWYER (not SROGET) - if you will look at the "g", it > >is open at the top and is a "y", the "t" is an "r" so it looks more > >like "SROYER" - George Washington SAWYER(S) is my 4th ggrandfather it > >is likely that this is him living next to his relatives by marriage - > >his wife is Mary Victoria THURMAN yet another daughter of Philip > >THURMAN and Kesiah KIRKLAND. > Tim: > My first thought was that this was SROGER.

Tim, I have only a copy of this page 73 of the 1830 Census - I have a page or 2 of 1840 and more of 1850. Thanks again for all that you do! Donna

That goes for the rest of you here also. I don't claim to be 100% correct. I'm just trying to be as accurate as possible. Tim
