1860 Federal Census, Morrow County, Ohio

In the 1860 census, the enumerator decided to add an "e" at the end of their name. They are residing in Congress Township, Morrow County, Ohio. What is confusing is why James is not listed first. There is an error on this census as his wife's name is Maria not Morris. James is listed with the occupation of a Sawyer (works with lumber) and having real estate valued at $400 and personal at $1000. This family would be considered in the upper-middle-income bracket.
