Hi all, I'm looking at the family of William Pearson, on the 1860 census of Iowa, Doniphan County, Kansas Territory, page 1025 , dwelling 1533, family 1396, on Ancestry here: http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=7667 <http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=7667&path=Kansas+Territory .Doniphan.Iowa.17&sid=&gskw=Lucinda+Pearson> &path=Kansas+Territory.Doniphan.Iowa.17&sid=&gskw=Lucinda+Pearson His youngest daughter Ellen (on the following page) is age 2, and I think she must have been born in Kansas Territory. However, the script looks like KY, and it's been transcribed/indexed as Kentucky. What do you think it should be? Thanks! Claudia Breland
I looked a a couple of pages before and after. IMHO it should be Kansas Territory. Mary Clement Douglass Transcribing & publishing Kansas genealogical records Have lectures, Will travel!
