1850 census of Illinois lists him as 7 yrs of age. 1860 census of Illinois lists him as 19 yrs of age, was a farmer and owned real estate valued at $800.00 and personal property valued at $1200.00. Quite a feat for a 19 year old man in 1860, methinks, considering the 1850 census claimed he owned no property! Hmmmm.........
