    • In the 1860 census, Elizabeth Rowland is enumerated in the household after her father's household headed by D. Ragsdale. Two of her children, S. H. and W. P. Roland are listed in her father's household. D. Ragsdale is probably Dasha Ragsdale, black, female, who is also a neighbor in the 1850 census.

      The household immediately following Elizabeth's in the cenusus is headed by Nicholas Smith, the man who signed the Bastardy Bond with Elizabeth. Could Nicholas be Elizabeth's baby daddy?
