1870 U.S. Census, Harris Family.
"1870 Census: Lawrence Co., Ark.
Reed's Creek Township
Family 124
HARRIS William C., 42, b. N.C.
Mary, 40, b. Ga. (Mary = Polly)
Martha, 12, b. Ark.
Thomas, 9, b. Ark.
Amanda, 7, b. Ark.
LINIERD Jane, 56, b. Ga. (could have misread L for S)."
Actual Text taken from a communication from James Logan Morgan to Gwinn H Britton.
Having reviewed the census entry the L/S issue for Jane is quite unclear. Casual review suggests that the letter is an L, but the letter is not very distinct and review of the writer's handwriting show that the the writer's S has a form which can also match the questionable letter.
