[or-roots] Question on 1860 census

[Sue Steward]

Hi Barbara, I went looking myself to Heritage Quest.
1860 Oregon - Linn County, Lebanon PO.  I searched for Samuel Deford and it is on Roll 1055 page 370.  I noticed the word he had mentioned on line 4 and line 22.  Then I went to page 371 and saw it again there.

  Do you have a page reference for where I can find this word.  I have access to the images.  Would like to look at it myself.

    I wondered about that but I didn't think it had started by 1860.  I really don't know when it started do you?

    Wild guess, but maybe it's serving in the military during the Civil War???

      First let me say that I have an extracted book of the Linn County 1860 census if anyone would like me to look something up for them.  Second I have a question regarding the wording that I don't understand.  In the column of the census where it would give occupation or whether children were in school what does the term "serving" mean?  I have two young men listed that way and I don't know what it means.  The father is listed as a farmer, wife as keeping house, the young children listed as at school, one daughter listed as works outside the home as a servant and these two young men as "serving".

      Any ideas out there?

      Thanks

      Dale
