READ FROM THE RECORD PAGE BY CLAUDE 31 Jul 2026 (URL line checked in the response, because Ancestry's SPA can serve the PREVIOUS page after a navigate). Ancestry coll. 8054 rec. 17001421. NARA RG29 M432 Roll 196 p. 40a, line 29, dwelling 568 family 569. Stephen Q Quisenberry 28 BLACKSMITH real estate $375 b. KENTUCKY — indexed 'Stephen Q', carrying the alternate 'Stephen C' twice Cloah Quisenberry 24 Lucy A 2 · Julia E 0 ⭐ MATCHES THE TREE: Cloah 24 = [997] Chloe Jane Bush b. 1825 · Lucy A 2 = [280] Lucy Ann 'Lou' b. 1847 · Julia E 0 = [1122] Julia Elizabeth b. 1849. ⭐⭐ THE OCCUPATION IS THE FIND: in 1850 he is a BLACKSMITH with $375 in real estate. By 1860 he is a FARMER with $2,000 real estate and $1,200 personal. This is the only one of the four couples still in Kentucky at this date. ⚠️ [1123] Achiles b. 1845 would be 5 and is ABSENT — and absent again in 1860. **The zero is controlled**: a search on his name in the 1860 collection returned the exact household under 'Lucy A Quisenberry, Rocky Fork, Boone, Missouri', so the instrument reaches this family. He genuinely is not in either household. ⚠️ POINTER, NOT OPENED: he is also listed in the 1850 U.S. Federal Census SLAVE SCHEDULES.

NARA RG29 M653 Roll M653_608 p. 649, dwelling 86 family 85 (the two differ as indexed). FHL film 803608. Stephen C Quisenberry 37 Farmer real estate $2,000 personal $1,200 b. KENTUCKY Cloe J Quisenberry 35 Lucy A 12 · Julia E 10 · Polly F 6 · Eva M 1 ⭐⭐ THE MIGRATION DATUM: in Kentucky in 1850, in MISSOURI by 1860. Their children's birthplaces date the move to c. 1854-59. ⭐ MATCHES THE TREE: Cloe J 35 = [997] Chloe Jane Bush b. 1825 · Lucy A 12 = [280] Lucy Ann b. 1847 · Julia E 10 = [1122] Julia Elizabeth b. 1849 · 'Polly F' 6 = [998] MARY 'Mollie' b. 1854 (Polly is the standard diminutive of Mary) · Eva M 1 = [1128] Evie (Eva) Mary b. 1859. ⚠️ [1123] Achiles b. 1845 and [1125] Cornelia b. 1852 are both ABSENT — see the controlled zero on the 1850 citation. ⭐⭐ THE IN-LAW FIND, and it links two of this generation's four couples: Ancestry's own suggested records for Stephen include a **Newspapers.com Obituary Index entry captioned 'CAVINS'**, and Lucy Ann Quisenberry resolves in later censuses to **'Lucy A. Cavins'**. BOONE AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES ADJOIN. Both families left Kentucky for the same corner of central Missouri and married into each other. NOT ENTERED — no marriage or link created on this evidence. ⚠️ POINTER, NOT OPENED: he is listed in the 1860 SLAVE SCHEDULES as well as the 1850.

Research note · 31 Jul 2026

Audited 31 Jul 2026 — his first, and his first citation. Found in BOTH censuses, and they show both a move and a rise: 1850 District 2, Clark Co., KENTUCKY ('Stephen Q', alternate 'Stephen C', 28, BLACKSMITH, real estate $375) and 1860 Rocky Fork, BOONE CO., MISSOURI (37, FARMER, $2,000 real estate plus $1,200 personal). Birthplace KENTUCKY in both, matching the tree. ⚠️ [1123] Achiles b. 1845 is absent from BOTH households — and that zero is CONTROLLED: a search on his own name returned this exact family under 'Lucy A Quisenberry', so the instrument reaches them. ⚠️ POINTER, NOT OPENED: he is listed in the 1850 AND 1860 SLAVE SCHEDULES. ⭐⭐ THE GENERATION'S HEADLINE, from the seven households read together: NOT ONE OF THESE FAMILIES WAS STILL A KENTUCKY FAMILY BY 1860, and the children's birthplace column dates each departure. CARPENTER x POWELL were in SMITH CO., TENNESSEE by 1850 (left KY c. 1845-49). CAVINS x MANSFIELD were in RANDOLPH CO., MISSOURI by 1850 (left KY by 1844). QUISENBERRY x BUSH were still in Clark Co., KY in 1850 but in BOONE CO., MISSOURI by 1860 (left c. 1854-59). Only ADAM CARPENTER x MARY ANN JONES stayed, in Casey Co., Kentucky. ⭐ AND TWO OF THE FOUR COUPLES BECAME IN-LAWS IN MISSOURI: Boone and Randolph Counties adjoin, Lucy Ann Quisenberry appears in later censuses as 'Lucy A. Cavins', and Stephen Quisenberry's own record panel carries an obituary-index entry captioned 'Cavins'. Not entered as a link — recorded as a finding.
