How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: What the page says: Jno. R. Kelso 35, farmer, real estate $1,000, personal estate $300, born Mississippi (the 1860 census and the 1925 certificate say Tennessee); Ann 31 b. Texas; Winchester 12; 'F. H.' 10; Hardina 3. The image shows $1,000 and $300; an earlier reading of the two value columns as 000 and 00 was corrected (confirmed by an independent check of the live image on 4 Oct 2026). There is no relationship column, so wife and children are inferred from the household. Whether these are our people: Likely, not Confirmed. The household continues the 1860 DeWitt household of John R. and Ann Kelso with the son Winchester; 'F. H.' fits the tree's Frank Hubert Kelso (b. 1860) and Hardina the tree's Rhoda Hardina Kelso (b. 1867) by initials, age and given name only. The tree's Ann is b. 1842 (about 28, not 31). The page names no parents or maiden names.
