Some were enumerated as being too lazy to work, some females were enumerated as their occupation being, 'laying on her back', still several others as just being 'hos', and one or two as being 'lady of the night'. Then I went searching and found quite a bit of this kind of thing, when researching the wild new territories of the west. A great many of the people in the lines I am researching came out of Ripley, Civil Dist 2. Would you mind sharing just the family name you find this profession in?
