Biography
The two pre-1850 censuses show:
- 1830-- M: (0-5) 1, (30-40) 1; F: (0-5) 1, (5-10) 1, (20-30) 1.
- 1840-- M: (10-15) 1, (40-50) 1; F: (5-10) 2, (15-20) 1, (40-50) 1.
The age of Lydia is 10 years too young in the earlier census but is correct in the next one. These also imply that there is another as-yet-unidentified son born between 1825 and 1830.
