The 1860 U.S. Census recorded 58-year-old farmer Isaac Clauson and 56-year-old Abigal Clauson in the Town of Lodi, Seneca County, New York,. The other members of the household were Elisabeth Clauson, 25; Charles D Clauson, 22; Firman F. Clauson, 19; Silas H. Clauson, 16; Barnabas Clauson, 10; and Benj Clauson, 8. Isaac, Abigal, and Elisabeth were born in Schuyler County (New York), and the younger children were all born in Seneca County. Charles D Clauson was identified as a student; there is no indication of occupation for the younger family members, but it's possible that they also were in school. ^[2]
