Census Notes for Joshua Franklin & Millie Jane (Family)
1860 census of Bath Co., Ky, Owingsville precinct, enumerated 13 July, lists on p. 227 as family #1644:
Joseph Sorrell, 23, farmer; Milly, 19. Both born in Kentucky.

1870 census of Wolfe Co., Ky, precinct 1, Hazle Green P.O., enumerated 24 June, lists on p. 6 as family #36:
Sorrell, Joshua F., 31; Milla J., 28; Elizabeth P., 6; Mary E., 5; John Milton, 3; William T., 1. All born in Kentucky.

1880 census of Wolfe Co., Ky, precinct 1, enumerated 8 June, lists on p. 12 as family #89:
Sorrel, Joshua F., 40, farmer; Milly J., 38, wife; George Anna, 18, dau; Marietta, 15, dau; John M., 13, son; William F., son, 11; Savilla J., 7, dau; Sarah C., 6, dau; Louisa, 4, dau; Melissa L., 2, dau. All born Ky Ky Ky.

This census is faint and difficult to read; some data may be transcribed wrong.

Either George Anna is a new name for the daughter listed as Elizabeth P. age 6 in 1870, or she is really a foster daughter. Sarah should really be 4 (nearly 5), since she was born in July 1875. It is thus likely that the ages for the other young children are also too high by a year or two.

1910 census of Menifee Co., Ky, Beaver precinct, enumerated 25 April, lists on p. 8B as family #112/115:
Sarrell, Joshua F., 71, b. Ky Va Va; Millie J., wife, 69, married 40 years, mother of 11 children, 10 living; Roy, grandson, 16; Igo, Brice, grandson, 10; Igo, Voliney, grandson, 7; Igo, Stanley, grandson, 5. All except Joshua born Ky Ky Ky.

The preceding household is that of their son (William) Frank. The Igo grandchildren are children of Daniel Igo and Savilla Sorrell.
