1860 Census Extracted and Compiled by Jerry Knight
Census Records from Images provided by USA National Archives and Records Administration. Washington D.C. extracted by myself from images on ancestry.com
Households (HH) are separated by double asterisks thus: ** and the name of the Head of Household (HH) on the record is in bold for ease of finding. You can easily use the formatting to convert the running text into lists with "find/replace" functions.
Names are most often converted to the modern spelling unless some circumstance dictates otherwise. This makes it easy to find people without having to try ten different ways of spelling a name. All names written such as "Wm, Jos, Jno, Geo, Jas" and so forth, will be automatically converted to the full spelling with no indication that this has been done. If there is uncertainty, it will be noted.
If there is something unusual about how the name appears in the record and/or how the transcriber rendered it, that is denoted as follows: (text: Knite, trans: Kite). This means the text said "Knite" but the ancestry.com transcriber turned it into "Kite". If you just see something like "John Knight (Knyght)" that simply means that the last name has been converted. It will not always be indicated that the first name has been converted, it's just done.
Notes are added here and there when circumstances demand and should be self-explanatory.
The 1860 census follows a similar format to the 1850: each member of the HH is named, their age is given, occupation (if any), and place of birth. Most often, place of birth is just given as a state. In some cases, a county is given also. If it is a foreign country, it is written out.

Melinda must have died and he married Matilda or the names Malinda and Matilda were different versions of what the census taker heard.

Knight (Night), 5, MO; Dolly Knight (Dally Night), 3, MO. ~~ Note: The Jonathan Knight here, aged 67, is apparently the son of John Knight and Martha Montague, grandson of Jonathan Knight and Judith Woodson Knight of VA/Granville NC, gr-grandson of John Knight and Elizabeth Woodson of Lunenburg. His age varies from census to census.
1860 – MO Knox Center – Federal Census - ** John C. Allred, 46, Farmer, TN; Eliza C. Allred, 46, VA; Elizabeth Allred, 15, MO; Eliza Allred, 13, MO; Adeline A. Allred, 10, MO; William H. C.

Knight, 5, TN. ~~ Note: Ancestry.com users indicate Bethina Waterman’s maiden name was Bethina Knight, daughter of Jonathan Knight and Eleanor of Bledsoe County TN. William Knight is, apparently, brother of Bethina. Sarah E. Knight, aged 5, is mis-indexed on Ancestry.com where she is shown as a single person at dwelling 253, when she should be listed with the rest of the family at dwelling 252. Her census family number is correctly listed as 4.

1860 – MO Maries Spring Creek – Federal Census - ** E. Daniels, 35, Farmer, TN; Lucy Daniels, 21, IN; Emeline Daniels, 5; MO; John Knight, 6; MO; William Knight, 3; MO; Deborah Knight, 4 mo.; MO; Arthur Knight, 15, MO. ~~ Note: This HH is incorrectly indexed and transcribed at Ancestry.com and on the National Archives Microfiche. The census taker completed the census for Johnson, Maries County on p. 115 and immediately started the census for Spring Creek at the bottom of the same page, where most of this family is recorded in dwelling 944 and family 931. Arthur Knight is recorded on p. 116 without dwelling or family number in Spring Creek. In the National Archives microfiche, p. 115 is grouped with Johnson, Maries County and p. 116 is grouped with Spring Creek, Maries County. At Ancestry.com all of the family, except Arthur are listed as living in Johnson, Maries, MO. On the microfiche, the census district of Miller is recorded between Johnson and Spring Creek.
1860 – MO Marion Hannibal – Federal Census - ** John Knight, 30, Carpenter, Unk, Living in Boarding House. ** Emma C. Knight, 27, NY; Francilia Knight, 4, MN. ** Eliza Garnett, 57, VA; Laura C. Garnett, 23, MO; Peter R. Garnett, 20, MO; Lucy S. Garnett, 16, MO ; David Dean, 38, Master Stone Cutter, OH; Maria Dean, 27, MO; John Night, 23, Stone Cutter, IL; Joseph Luddington, 25, Engineer, England; William Eucher, 25, Machinist, Switzerland; John Robinson, 25, Moulder Foundry, England; Robert Canam, 30, Agent of Marble Yard, MO; William Cleaver, 34, Mast. Foundry Man, MO. ~~ Note: The census taker really messed this one up, apparently combining this business HH with the prev HH of a “common laborer”. However, a note in the upper left corner of the page indicates that the numbers of the dwellings and HHs should be increased by one, so he corrected his error. As it happens, Peter R. Garnett became an important and wealthy man in the Sacramento Valley of CA, and his father had business interests that were left to his widow seen here. A general search will bring up a number of articles about Peter and his family and what we are seeing in this census may be evidence of his first business venture: a marble quarry with machinists, engineers, and stone workers to support the operation. Unfortunately, the Civil War intervened.
1860 – MO Mercer Morgan – Federal Census - ** James A. Knight, 37, Farmer, NC; Isabella Knight, 23, OH.
1860 – MO Montgomery Bear Creek – Federal Census - ** Albert Knight, 25, Wagon Maker, MO; Barbara Knight, 21, MO; Edward Knight, 2, MO. ~~ Note: The census taker placed the dwelling and family numbers next to Barbara Knight, apparently making Albert Knight a member of the previous, Singleton, family, but the order of listing and dittoed last name seem to indicate that Albert should have been listed as the head of HH with Barbara and Edward.
1860 – MO Newton Granby – Federal Census - ** A. J. Rose, 19, Smelter, TN; Siotha Rose, 17, AR; James Knight, 48, Wagoneer, VA. ~~ Note: I can’t think of what Siotha could be other than what it is; that’s what the scribe wrote.

Knight (Greens), 27, Farmer, IN; Martha Knight, 23, TN; Louis Lester, 18, TN. ~~ Note: This record is nearly unreadable due to faded ink. An Ancestry.com user indicates the transcribed name of Greene should be Knight. The support for the assertion from the census record is very weak but is included nevertheless. Research needed.
