2. 1850 U.S. Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #9 of 14): Sulphur Spring Twp., Montgomery Co., AR, Roll M432_28, p. 397A, 59/59, enumerated 24 Sep 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Elihu Cole 29 M Farmer Ala

Matilda " 25 F Tenn

Thomas J " 5 M Ark

Larkin Granville " 2 M "

Wm H Lemmons 10 M Tenn

Charles P " 8 M "

My original take on this record was that William and Charles were Matilda's younger siblings, but some secondary sources say they are her children. If so, LEMMONS is not her maiden name.

This is almost certainly the most screwed up census record I've ever seen; nevertheless, I do believe these are our subjects, and the keys are Larkin and C.P. LEMMONS.
