Thank you to all who answered. I needed to double check that the birth year was not 1822.

I’m looking for a William Johnson born in Ohio in 1822 in the same area. He didn’t marry until 1852.

Answer 1

I agree with both Melissa and Patricia that he's 38 but I can definitely see how a transcriber would put 28.

There is a William Johnson marrying Felicity Hall in 1832 in Madison County. Ohio Marriage William Johnson & Felicity Hall  There is also a FamilySearch Ohio marriage record of same date but with no image that puts their marriage in Madison, Lake County.  Most Ohio marriage records that I've seen only use the county.  So much for no additional information .

The one with the image clearly shows Madison County. The record without the image likely is an error in how the location was attached to the record, as there is a Madison Township in Lake County.

@Amy, I totally agree it's an error in the record without an image.  One more reason to always look at the image.

Answer 2

38 year old male born in Ohio, farmer, Real estate value owned $4000

Answer 3

I would say 38 year old although it is transcribed as 28.
