Bandy, Elihue Thompson, Elizabeth 28 Apr 1809 Green Co.

2. Said to be in the 1810 Green Co., KY, Census (p. 253) as Hugh BANDY, but the numerical data for this record show a couple over age 45 with seven children, two age 10-16 and five under age 10. In 1810, Elihu and Elizabeth were newlyweds and both of them were in the 16-25 age bracket, with at most one infant (two if twins).

The ages of the extra individuals suggest that a widowed daughter may have moved home with her children. Could the two younger boys be the Yates boys seen in the 1850 Census? Could the widow be Nancy (b. 1811)?
