George Washington Vaught 1870 Census (Indiana)


So here's my first contribution of data to the site...a digital copy of the 1870 Census for Indiana (Clark Township, Johnson County). This is a detail of George Washington Vaught's household.

I have blurred out the other families on the picture to make it easier to find George, though if you look closely, he's really listed as "Washington Vought". What confirms that he is really George Washington Vaught are the names of his wife (Mary) and children. As an added bonus, the last name on the list for that household is one Jonathan Snow (soon to be the subject of another post) who is the father of George's wife, Mary.

Sadly, just four years later, George Washington Vaught would die at the age of 55.
