Individual Notes
1871 Census Returns for Mosa Twp., Sub-District No. 1, p. 51, household of James [Baumery?][Balmer?]
There is evidence that George K. was born ca. 1854 (the 1861 census gives his age next birthday as 7), in which case he may have been the George recorded in this return. However one would not expect Barnabas’ young son to have been left behind alone in Mosa when the family moved elsewhere.298, p 6
