	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.

	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.
