Census taking was at any time, has always been so, "catch as catch can" when the informant was not fully informed. If an adult informant was not available a census taker had to make do with a neighbor or servant / hired hand. Since the informant was never named by the census taker, we don't know who to blame for the misinformation.
posted by Susan Smith
Hi Susan. Thanks for the reply. I know the information written on the census form is perhaps just a "best guess", but my question was really about the frequent difference between what was clearly written on the form and how it gets transcribed as one year older in the FamilySearch records. It's not always or even necessarily consistent, but I often find the transcription is one year high on about half the family members I look at. An example I was looking at today was a child the hand-written census very clearly showed was 13. On Ancestry the transcription of the census said he was 13, on FamilySearch the transcription said he was 14... Three of his siblings also had ages transcribed that did not match the clear writing on form.
posted by David Motz
Ah. In that case, since it is an apparent error on the part of the person who is transcribing the information from whatever source, you might want to discuss it with the Latter Day Saints office in charge of volunteers (I'm guessing volunteer) - there may be a link for reaching this 'department' ...

I'm guessing there IS a department overseeing volunteers who transcribe scans or original sources.

It may be a peculiarity of one transcriber or a peculiarity of the 'department' supervisor who suggests this action

I suppose it might have to do with the question about the birthday ... I recall somewhat vaguely something I read or was told back in the 1970s. A long time ago. I recall it had to do with when the birthday occured, before the enumeration date or later in the year, after the enumeration date ....

From 1790 to 1820, the censuses were conducted as of the first Monday in August (August 2, 1790; August 4, 1800; August 6, 1810; August 7, 1820); the 1830-1880 and 1900 censuses were as of June 1; the 1890 census was as of June 2; April 15 was Census Day in 1910; and the 1920 census was as of January 1.. Since 1930, Census Day has been April 1.

I have never run my lines to the Beauchamps from the Bledsoes.

But I know they are the Warwick side of the wars of the roses.

They do have a line that would wind up at the Beauchamps.

Heres something else. You could be black of course you would probibly know that. Because Anthony, Isaacs brother owned his own half brother.

Famous mulato slave named Abraham. They all owned slaves. Rev war soldier and French indian fighter.

Google bledsoe state park.

They're are Bledsoes that were slaves. But they were family to these people. And slaves like Rachel a house slave for her life was retired to live with her husband. Which wasnt popular back then.

Arron Bledsoe was the first Babtist preacher in Tennessee. Owned slaves.

Abraham bought his father in-laws plantation. The Ball plantation in SC, but that area went from NC to SC in a land survey. .

This is where the battle of king mountain occurred.

Watch the movie the Patriot with mel gibson. That's history. Sumner county Tennessee was Bledsoe county tennesee first. They changed it.

So that is the Bledsoes.

The line here is correct except a few little things.

The source for this group comes from a Bledsoe report that was first released about 1902 I think..

The people on wikitree have other wives or step children. But unsourced.

Issac died later in life. But most Bledsoes have some adoptions because the family or members were killed by indians.

In my line #Thomas. He was killed by indians young like 40. His wife married a man name john stewart soon after the attack to protect her land..

Well that means he is the step father of loving Bledsoe. And it means that stewart line to the bledsoe line starts there for them.

So Not all wives are shown. And many children are not shown because sourceing does not exist.

I have the source documents. I own all 10 volumes of the Bledsoe Journal.

Give me you direct grandfather below abraham. I will find your line.

Ps: ok so issac who is your line to him. The childs name?
