Notes
- 1850 Federal Census, Phillips County, Arkansas, 31 October, Moony [Mooney] Township, page 290, Hse/Fam #53 Miles Knowlton 45 M Farmer $3700 Real Estate b Connecticut (b abt 1805) Malissa Knowlton 7 F b Arkansas This census reports the age of Melissa as two years younger than she should be, according to the birth date reported by Mary Nell Burnett in her genealogy of the Knowltons. Mary Nell says Melissa was born on 20 August 1841. Thus she shoudl have been 9 years old at census time in October 1850. The 1860 census catches up, however, reporting her 18 at the June census date. This would mean she would be 19 in August 1860, matching her 1841 birth date. 1860 Federal Census, Phillips County, Arkansas, 26 June, Mooney Township, PO Gillins Landing, page 42, Hse #327, Fam #313 Miles Knowlton 54 M Farmer $45,275 Real Estate $24,465 Personal b Connecticut (b abt 1806) Malissa Knowlton 18 F b Arkansas
