Livingston Co., Kentucky

Occupations
(1860)

---

While studying the 1860 Livingston County Census, I started to take notice of the occupations of the people who made up Smithland Kentucky and it’s surrounding Districts.
I decided to try and make a Directory of Businesses and Occupations.
Not everyone is mentioned here, as there were many other types of jobs like house painters, mates on ships, farmers, etc.
I tried hard to spell the names as they were spelled, so please do not go totally by spelling.
I noticed some interesting facts while putting this together.
In all of 1860 Livingston County Kentucky, only two women claimed occupations and one was a grocer, the other a teacher. There were doctors but no nurses.
All teachers but one, were men.     Sandra
