    5. [S61] United States Census.
      14 Nov 1849. Iverson B. Walters was appointed postmaster for Ringgold, Pittsylvania Co VA.

      1850 Census. Pittsylvania Co VA
      An Iverson J. Walters, age 35, manufacturer, b. VA, was living in the household of Thomas J. Shelton. There were five single men living together - possibly a small rooming house. The age is wrong, but Iverson likely did not give the information.

      There is an E. Walters, 70 year old female, b. VA, in Caswell in 1860. Living with her was Thomas Turner, age 33. Probably this is Elizabeth, stepmother of Iverson. I have no information about her death.
      The household just previous was I. B. Walters, age 40, b. NC, a single man. I'm sure this would be Archibald's son and Elizabeth's stepson, Iverson - he did not marry until 1861.
      Iverson B. Walters married Emily Griffeth, 26 Dec 1861, Rockingham Co NC.
