 General Notes:
Sandra Poser notes about Ira Melly Bowlby that:
Because of the handwriting of the day, Ira has been identified in census reports as Iva M.; Ira M.; and Ivan. We believe that the correct name is "Ira M. Bowlby", as it was given in the 1870 census of Wolf River Township, Doniphan County, Kansas. He was 2 years old, born in Kansas. The name and age usually seem to be correct in the first census that the child appears in.
