Information from US Federal Census Records

According to the 1850 census Jemima, Archibald and family were living in Davie County, North Carolina, which was also Jemima's birthplace. Also in the family is seventy three year old Elizabeth Chaffin, born in Maryland. ^[2]

^[3]

In 1880 sixty seven year old Jemima is recorded as being the mother-in-law in the home of L M Markland who is evidently husband of Jemima and Archibald's daughter Sallie. Facts also recorded are that she and both her parents were born in North Carolina.

The household member's names and ages were as follows:

Archabald H Chaffin 47

Jemima Chaffin 37

Margaret Chaffin 17

Emily Chaffin 16

Samuel Chaffin 12

Nathan Chaffin 11

Lucinda Chaffin 9

Doctor Chaffin 5

Parthena Chaffin 2

Elizabeth Chaffin 73

By 1870 Jemima was living alone. Archie had evidently died between the last census record in 1860 and then. The children had grown and started homes of their own. ^[4]
