Irish Born Individuals in the South Bend Portage Township 1860 Census Surnames A-C
There are 13 different Surnames represented in this section, with 27 individuals being born in Ireland and 10 of those documented (above the age of 20) were unable to read or write. I believe that this number might be higher than is actually recorded. Neither of my Great Grandparents could read nor write (they signed their legal documents with an "x") but there was no notation made for Catherine in this section that acknowledges this in the Census record. The following Surnames were listed under South Bend: Benan, Boyne, Brown, Burns (only Sarah), Cacy, Clifford, Conley and Cristy. Ann Byersly was listed as being from Portage Township and the rest were listed as South Bend-Portage Township. Sarah Burns is not listed as part of the Burns family in the census record.
