1835 Illinois Census: John Hamilton Household Morgan County, Illinois |
| |
This is a rare image of a ledger page of the 1835 Illinois state census from Morgan County, Illinois. John and Altha Hamilton were in Morgan County in 1834 when their twins were born; William McCord and James M. Hamilton. I looked at every page of the census and feel confident that the entry at the top of this page is for "our" John Hamilton... Supplina's father along with his mother Altha Judd. The case is strengthened when you look closely at the make up of those in the household. There were four boys under ten: William (1), James (1), Supplina (3) and John P. (6). There were three boys between ten and twenty: Heman, Hiram, and an unknown male. One man between fifty and sixty: John (approx 55). There was one female under ten: Mary (8). There were two females between ten and twenty: Roxa (Roxie) and Elizabeth. There was one woman between thiry and forty: Altha (Judd) Hamilton (approx. 38). The unknown male in the ten to twenty age group also appears in the 1830 US Census (but appropriately younger) when the Hamilton's where in in Amity district, Allegany County, NY. In the 1830 US Census in NY our John Hamilton family was living next to Supplina Judd and Heman Judd. So, now we've established the 1830 census record for John and Altha in NY and the 1835 census record in Illinois and in both cases there is a young male household member who we (I) currently do not have a name for. |

1860 US Census - Amasa Galloway - Carson County, Utah Territory (now Nevada) - Sullivan Mining District |
| |
This is my, so far, my earliest census record for Amasa Galloway. Amasa is living in the Sullivan Mining District in what is now the state of Nevada. He and his two partners are mining a claim they valued at $15,000. There were 39 people listed as living in "Sullivan's Mining District" in 1860. Carson County, Utah Territory was split off as Nevada Territory in 1861 and then was admitted to the Union as the State of Nevada in 1864. Amasa was 29 in 1860 and (I assume) single. We later find him in 1870 living near Seattle in King County, WA married to Elizabeth Jordan. He is found in Walla Walla County, WA in the late 1870's and early 1880's. He had a couple lawsuits filed against him there for the collection of promissory notes. He later moved to Whitman County, WA in the 1880's. We find him and his wife Elizabeth Jordan and family living in the Wauconda mining district in Okanogan County, WA in the 1890's and early 20th Century. One of Amasa's younger sons was Charles Amasa Galloway. Charles was the father of Elsie (Galloway) Hamilton. |
