Message Board Post:
I have an 11 year old John Calhoun in the household of Dr Amos W McCoy & wife Mary in
Russell Alabama 1850 census. It looks like this is a large household with several
unrelated children who were perhaps in a school or foster environment. There are several
seemingly also unrelated young adult males (a doctor, a teacher, two lawyers &
mechanics) living there who also may be either be learning from each other, or perhaps
teaching the children? Does anyone know anything about this 1850 household or how this 11
year old Calhoun child came to be there?
Does anyone know who he is related to?
Any help appreciated.
The head of household (McCoy family) is from Georgia, and the home is just across the GA
state line in Alabama. I have attached a jpg copy of the census to this post.
Thanks,
Diane
