Another page from a school census report from Washington County – this time from the year 1900 and district 46.  All the names are very familiar to me – especially Joseph B. Carrico, my great-grandfather – and his son, my grandfather, Joseph R. Carrico.  The Hamilton’s and Smith’s are cousins.

In an age when birth records were not officially kept, school census records are a good source!  It gives the father’s name, or mother if the father is deceased.  In one instance a mother has a different surname from her son, presumably she married again after the death of her husband.
