In the above census, Linsey B. Bartridge is listed as a female, but I believe this to be an error.
If the age of Lindsey in the above census is correct, then in 1861 his age would have been approx. 25-26 years.
This same family appears on the 1860 Federal Census of Neshoba County, Mississippi. The older children have either left home or died, including Lindsey. The census follows:
