Spelling Don't Count, I Love Accents in Writing

Copyright 2018, CABS for Reflections From the Fence

1880 U.S. Census, 45th District, Bulloch County, Georgia.


May I draw your attention to Hesachier, errr, Hezekiah.

Now, try speaking the name Hezekiah only add a southern drawl.  Yea, that's it!

We will note that you can find this 14 year old's grandfather on the same census, same county, and his name is recorded as Hesachiah Bowen.

(Now the story on me, it only took me 6 months to figure this out.  Ya, really!)
