Do we have a statistician in our midst? Or perhaps someone good with census, odds and probability? Have any of you worked with the 1850 Obion Co TN Census slave schedule? I ordered in by mistake in lieu of the 1850 Free Census, but it has proven to be quite interesting. It gives the name of the slave owner, no name of the slave, but gives the age, sex, race. Some are b for black, some m for mulatto. Are any of you willing to give any odds on the mulatto's being the son or daughter of the owner ... I must add that some of the owners are female and some at the bottom of the pages are unreadable. I plan to eventually abstract all of this and add to our Obion Co pages and when I can determine correctly will add it to the 1850 Free Census list.
