This would mean they have been in Missouri for at least 13 years. ===============Equality Twp============= 1860 census: (Equality Twp) John Sanderson age 35 Elizabeth age 30 Hannah M. age 15 Joseph age 12 Sarah A. age 10 William age 8 Perry age 6 Thomas age 4 Alva age A. age 1 =================Osage Twp============== John has moved over into Osage Twp and the census taker over there has most of the ages screwed up. !870 was the first census after the Civil War and it really sucked. 1870 census: (Osage Twp)----------------------------------------- John Sanderson age 50?
