| Census Notes for William Morrison Downing |
1850 Census of Morgan Co., Ky, lists family #1165:
William Downing, 27; Rebecca, 25; William, 4; Mary, 2; Eliza, 1. All born in Ky.
The birth records for Julian and Newton born in May 1855 list their mother as Rosanna Walton, which agrees with the 1844 marriage record, so the "Rebecca" must be simply an error. |
| Notes for Rosanna Jane Walton |
| The middle name of "Jane" is from the death records for the infant twins who died in 1855. Their birth records list their mother's maiden name as Rosanna Walton, and their death records list their parents as "Wm & Jane Downing". |
