  Notes	1850, Sep 20: Jasper Co Augustus Bosworth born 1844 MS, age 6 age 6 living with O.P. Lang and Elizabeth F. (age 20) 1850, Sep 14: Jasper Co, Augustus Bosworth born 1847 MS age 3 living with John C Bounds. 1860 living with Henry Bosworth: James Augustus Bosworth b 1842, not listed with natural children, although he could have been listed last as being from a first marriage. However, Henry, wife and Lucinda wee listed in 1850, did not name Augustus. Rather Augustus was counted both with the Langs and with John Bounds in 1850. It's quite doubtful that he is the natural sone of Henry. But since he bears the name of Augustus, and Henry's father is Augustus, it's more likely he is an orphaned son of one of Henry's brothers.
