Other Personal Events

Ω Census wife	1 Jun 1850
	Witness Role: Principal Jamison BUSSEY
Census	1 Jun 1860	Prairie Township, Carroll, Arkansas, United States [1, 3]
	Jamison A Baker, a 2 year old male child, lving in this household and the census taker wrote "(connexion)" but didn't clarify what that connection was. The Bussey's eldest daughter, Martha, had a son, Jamison, in 1857 and died shortly thereafter. It's likely that her parents took in the child. The child's father later went to fight in the Civil War, and died in a Union Prison camp. Witness Role: head of household Mary Elizabeth DENNEY Witness Role: daughter Lucinda Jane BUSSEY Witness Role: daughter Sarah Elizabeth BUSSEY Witness Role: daughter Mary Emeline BUSSEY Witness Role: son John Austin BUSSEY Witness Role: son Richard Carter BUSSEY Witness Role: grandson Jamison Aaron BAKER
Ω Census Principal	1 Jun 1860
	Witness Role: Principal Mary Elizabeth DENNEY
Census	1 Jun 1870	Prairie Township, Carroll, Arkansas, United States [5]
	Also in this household was a male child, Jamison Baker, said to be 2 years old, but also stated to be attending school. In 1860, a 2 year old male child, Jamison Baker, lived with this same family, so it's REALLY likely that Jamison here in 1870 was 12 years old.
