Hi,

I am looking for information about this institution listed in the census for Marion County Kentucky in 1850. The census lists residents, and one could be an ancestor of mine. The name and age are right. I would like to know what type of institution this was and where I might find more info about the residents.

I've been trying to find this ancestor's family and this information could be extremely helpful as I have found a family which could be hers in 1850 census, except that she isn't listed! If she were in this institution that year, it would explain her absence.

I've written to a couple of places, libraries, historical societies, and have received no response. Where can I find info about this place, or who can I contact that might be able to help??

Thanks.
