Hello all,
LaMona was good enough to send me a link to her info (Thanks LaMona!) I hope
you old timers will bear with me if I'm rehashing old info.
Okay, the Cherokee Co, GA 1850 census shows a "Joseph" age 42 and wife
"R"
age 37 which is the right ages for our Joseph Roland.
LaMona lists these children and dates of birth:
George Washington 1836
Mildred abt. 1840
Isaac Jackson 21 Dec 1840
Jane abt. 1844
Leonard abt. 1846
Nancy abt. 1848
Lodusca abt. 1850
Charles J. abt. 1852
Melissa Hollendery 1 June 1856
The 1850 census shows these initials and ages:
E 16 female
GW 14 male
S 12 female
MA 10 female
IG 8 male
LJ 6 female
LP 4 male
M 3 female
Y (I think) 1 female
As you see these match LaMona's list:
GW with George Washington
MA with Mildred
IG with Isaac (Should be IJ)
LJ with Jane
LP with Leonard
Lodusca could be the "Y". This might have been and "L" and I misread
it.
The "M" must have been and "N" for Nancy?
Charles and Melissa wouldn't be on this census.
But that still leaves "E" - a 16yo female. Anyone know about her?
Has anyone seen any more about the neighbor, Bridwell Hill? His wife is
listed as "J" with 1 son and a William Legoaud(sp?) aged 25 living with
them.
