We are working on an 1880 census record from Prairie County Arkansas that 
lists "Hind" as the relationship for one gentleman to head of household.  
They are listed as boat builders, so we thought maybe he spent most of his 
time on the back end, but that doesn't make sense to be in the relationship 
field.  Also thought it might actually be "Hand", but it is clearly an i, 
not an a. 
  
Any suggestions?  It is Kenneth Thompson, living in the Steve Claycomb 
residence.
