[or-roots] Question on 1860 census

[Harguess, Dale]

Somehow I must have miscommunicated the two young men I was referring to
were Hoskins not Deford.  Actually, I think they had it under Haskins
because of the bad handwriting of the census taker.

Back to the translation of the occupation of the guy above Samuel
Deford.

 

Would you believe 'Livery'

 

Remember in 1860 the 'L' and the 'S' look just alike.  Besides this is
the third iteration of the record.  The census taker wrote it and gave
it to the county.  The guy at the county copied it over and sent it to
the state.  The states' copy was copied again and sent to the feds.
What we see is the feds copy.

	Hi Barbara, I went looking myself to Heritage Quest.

	1860 Oregon - Linn County, Lebanon PO.  I searched for Samuel
Deford and it is on Roll 1055 page 370.  I noticed the word he had
mentioned on line 4 and line 22.  Then I went to page 371 and saw it
again there.

		Do you have a page reference for where I can find this
word.  I have access to the images.  Would like to look at it myself.

			I wondered about that but I didn't think it had
started by 1860.  I really don't know when it started do you?

			Wild guess, but maybe it's serving in the
military during the Civil War???

				First let me say that I have an
extracted book of the Linn County 1860 census if anyone would like me to
look something up for them.  Second I have a question regarding the
wording that I don't understand.  In the column of the census where it
would give occupation or whether children were in school what does the
term "serving" mean?  I have two young men listed that way and I don't
know what it means.  The father is listed as a farmer, wife as keeping
house, the young children listed as at school, one daughter listed as
works outside the home as a servant and these two young men as
"serving".

				Any ideas out there?

				Thanks

				Dale
