It is unclear if she also had a census record living with John in Indiana the same year, or if he was with a different Catherine by then as the age of that Catherine is listed as 41, so would be off a few years: (see John's profile). If this record belongs and the next, Catherine took back her maiden name, or no one corrected the census taker which was more likely as she was disabled. 1850 United States Federal Census Name Catharine Smith Gender Female Age 46 Birth Year 1804 Birthplace Virginia Home in 1850 Farmer, Defiance, Ohio, USA Real Estate100 Cannot Read, WriteY Line Number37 Dwelling Number1026Family Number1026 Household Members Name Lydia Smith Age77 Name John Gardner Age56 Name Catharine Smith Age46^[3]
