Notes

[NI0728] Updated December 3, 2005. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) 1850 United States Census Wisconsin, Iowa Co., the Town of Mifflin, Mifflin Post Office: District 5, Page 12; September 19, 1850.

Elvira Stephens is the daughter of Lorenzo and Eliza Stephens. She is 5 years old and born in Wisconsin.

(2) 1860 United States Census Wisconsin, Iowa Co., the Town of Mifflin, Mifflin Post Office: Page 70; July 6, 1860.

Elvira Stevens is the daughter of Lorenzo and Eliza Stevens. She is 15 years old, born in Wisconsin and is attending school.

(3) 1870 United States Census for Wisconsin, Iowa Co., Town of Mifflin (Mifflin Post Office): page 26; dwelling 206; family 198; August 11, 1870.

Elvira [Stevens] Kendall is married to Stephan Kendall, head of household. She was born in Wisconsin, is 25 years old and is keeping house. Their child May is also listed, along with Preston Smith, a 21 year old day laborer.

(4) 1880 United States Census for Wisconsin, Iowa Co., Eden Twp.: Supervisor's District 2; Enumeration District 151; page 4; June 2, 1880.

Elvira (listed as "Eloisa") [Stevens] Kendall is married to Stephen (listed as "Stephan") Kendall. She is 35 years old and housekeeping. She was born in Wisconsin and her parents were born in Maine. Children in the household are May, Besie, Torence, and Louis.

=====
SPECIAL NOTE ON NEBRASKA RECORDS: The Kendall family is generally listed in census records for Fillmore Co., Nebraska, although their post office is often listed as Sutton, Clay Co., Nebraska. They obviously lived near a county line, but I have not had an opportunity to determine upon which side of the line they resided.
=====

(5) 1900 United States Census for Nebraska, Fillmore Co., Bennett Twp.: Supervisor's District 4; Enumeration District 18; Sheet 5A; June 11, 1900.

Elvira [Stevens] Kendall is married to Stephen Kendall, head of household. Their son Louis resides in the adjacent household. NOTE: Stephen Kendall is also the census taker for this page of records, which likely increases the presumption of accuracy for the Kendall family portion.

- Motherhood: She has given birth to 4 children, 3 of whom are presently living.
