Notes

Note N1192There is a variation in ages for this family in the 1850, 1860 & 1870 Census's. Consequently, I have had to make educated guesses as to the correct ages.
I suspect that these folks may not have been too aware of their own ages. I have noticed from the census's that Simeons children did not attend any school. It may have been that an education was not that important to them. One of John Higdon's children was two months old and not even named. If names were not important to this family, then ages likely were not either.
