Reading BLOUNT, Jr.
Athaliah ROBERTS

Husband: Reading BLOUNT, Jr.
Birth: bef. 1775
Death: ca. 1808, Fairfield Co., OH
Father: Reading BLOUNT
Mother: Abigail AMBROSE

Marriage: 8 Jan 1800, presumably Boubon Co., KY

Wife: Athaliah "Atha" ROBERTS
Birth: bef. 1775
Death: aft. 1820

"Athaliah" is a scriptural name, so I suspect other variants are misspellings or misreadings — she is called "Athalia" on her daughter Delilah's marriage bond.

Children:

1. Delilah BLOUNT, b. 1800
2. William BLOUNT, b. 1800/1
3. Azariah BLOUNT, b. ca. 1802
4. (Child) BLOUNT, b. ca. 1803

5. Abigail BLOUNT, b. ca. 1805
6. (Child) BLOUNT

One of the two unnamed children had passed away by 1820; the surviving one was a daughter.

4. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1810 (Broderbund CD-313): not found. The 1810 Census of Ohio was destroyed (except for Washington Co.), so if Widow Athaliah was still there in Ohio, we couldn't prove it, except possibly via tax rolls. On the other hand, as a newly widowed mother with six young children, she was likely staying with her kinfolk, probably back in Kentucky, so wouldn't have been head-of-household in any case.

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 16-18 1801-1804 = Azariah (b. ca. 1802)

1 male 19-25* 1794-1801 = William (b. 1800/1)

2 females 10-15 1804-1810 = Abigail (b. 1805)
= Daughter

1 female 16-25 1794-1804 = Delilah (b. 1800/1)

1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1775 = Athaliah

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. By subtracting the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create an age class "19-25."
