Ω Census Principal 1 Jun 1850 - Witness Role: Principal Robert Osborne DUCK
Census 1 Jun 1860 Locust Grove, Searcy, Arkansas, United States [1] - he is reported "at rest" meaning retired. The next household listed is that of Richard Duck, 40; wife Jane, 34; and their 7 children: George (M, 14), Melvin (M, 12), James (M, 10), Robert (M, 8), Nancy (F, 4), Mary (F, 2), and Jane (F, 3 mos.). Unknown how or if this family is related, but it is possible that Richard is a son - perhaps even the son that was living next door to them in 1850 in Georgia. It's a bit of a stretch, but possible.
