     Marcus was listed as the head of a family on the 1850 Census in Nodaway Township, Andrew Co, MO. Marcus had $2500 in real property. Jackson and John were farmers. Parley, Washington and Lydia were in school. But wait -- how could Marcus be listed in this household when he was already dead? The census instructions were to get information about each household as of a particular date, in this case, June 1, 1850.1
