Records behind this page

1850 United States Federal Census
1850 U.S. Census, District 12, Shelby Co., Tennessee — dwelling 1831, A. N. Plunkett household (read from the image, Ancestry coll. 8054, image 4206053_00615)
read the transcript
1850 United States Federal Census, 12th Civil District, SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE, stamped p. 207(a), DWELLING/FAMILY 1831, enumerated 20 Dec 1850. READ FROM THE IMAGE 31 Jul 2026 and RE-READ 3 Aug 2026 (Ancestry collection 8054, image 4206053_00615) — not from the index. Line 36: "A. n. Plunkett - 39 - M - Teacher - [b.] Va." — ⛔ the image reads A. N.; the Ancestry INDEX's "A W" is wrong on the image (the recurring index-initial error class, in the tree's favour: A. N. = Achilles Nivison). Household: Elizabeth 32 F (Va.) - Adeline 12 (Miss., at school) - Martha 9 (Miss., at school) - William 15 M "Pupil" (Tenn.) - Louise 6 (Tenn., at school) - Edward 2 M (Tenn.). Age 39 -> b. abt 1811, VIRGINIA — matching the tree's 1810 Williamsburg. [Correction 3 Aug 2026: this citation previously said dwelling 1131 and "A. W." — both amended after the full re-read; the page's dwellings run 1825-1831. K58; memo browser-session-2026-08-03-census-wb12-geneanet-gazette.md.]
