Charlie,
Below is briefly what I have for the director ancestors of William David
Cate and Julia Ann Osborn. I did not have this census citation and can't
tell you which county it came from but this Cate family line was in Saline
County, AR at one time. The 5/12 and etc. I believe stand for "number of
months". I don't see this often but it did occur on some census records....
usually for the birth of a child within the previous 12 months of the date
the census was taken but have seen it in the form you report also.
