We continue the Bullitt County 1850 census written by Mrs. W. V. Mathis, Wallace A. McKay and W. C. Barrickman. Betty Darnell shared this in The Pioneer News on 6 Aug 1990.
These records have been briefly compared to images of the census pages, and occasional additions or corrections have been made. Those changes we consider significant are noted with red print. Also, the census dwelling house number and family number according to visitation has been added, like this: [1/1].
9 September 1949
(In the April 29 issue (abstracted for this column in the 13 November 1989, issue), the record of Richard A. Wise, Jr., was given. Richard Wise, Sr. was an early pioneer of Bullitt. He died in 1828, leaving a wife and 6 children. (Information is given on 4 of the children: Caleb Catherine Ann, Richard A. and Josephine.)
