On a different note. I "paged" through the 1860 US Census book for Lisle. An approach I have not used much. Interesting tidbits. At the end of the book, the enumerator had a count of 1792 people. I did not keep an exact count, however, something approach 95%+ were farmers. Maybe 300-400 families in total. 1 physician, 1 school teacher, 2 wagon makers and 15-20 blacksmiths. It would appear to me that is way too many blacksmiths for a small farming community. Unless of course, they are busy making barrels.
