Secondary sources mistakenly say that the children were born in Findlay, no doubt because the Findlay Post Office is named on their census records. But these were farmers. They lived in the country — in the township, not the town. They rode/drove to the Town of Findlay to pick up their mail, it is not where they lived.

2. 1820 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #11 of 17extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen): not found. It appears our newlyweds are living with someone else, probably with his parents or hers. (The "Levin/Leven" indexed in Baltimore is not a mis-reading of Resin/Rezen, plus the man was born before 1794.)

Other BUCKINGHAMs in township: Nathan and Eli???. The list was roughly alphabetized, which reveals that the pages for Violet Township were numbered and microfilmed in reverse order.

5. 1850 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #145 of 427 — indexed "Rizon"): Van Lue, Amanda Twp. (Dist. No. 48), Hancock Co., OH, p. 461B, 26/26, enumerated 5 Sep 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Nathan 17 M laborer O

Saml H Beard 13 M

Martha J 8 F

Geo W 5 M

Mary E 3 F

Elias V Cross 5 M

David Holmes 23 M clerk Ireland

Reason has shaved a few years off his age — as both widows and widowers are inclined to do. Presumably here, the blanks in the birthplace column all mean Ohio. The BEARD children are Mary's from her prior marriage. Elias V. CROSS is probably a nephew or grand-nephew, that is, kin to Reason's first wife, Eleanor CROSS.

6. 1860 Census Index/Images (online at Genealogy.com, Image #15 of 30): Vanlue P.O., Amanda Twp., Hancock Co., OH, Roll 982 (Book 1), p. 208A, PN 23, enumerated 7 Jun 1860, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1860 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

James and Sarah are Emily's children from her prior marriage. Jacob may be Emily's nephew — or her illegitimage son.

__________ Resin W M 80 Father / Stone Mason / / MD MD MD

For whatever reason, Reason and Emily are no longer living together (see next record), though they are apparently still married. But how does a man in his 70's become a stone mason? He must have been one tough old bird — or it's enumerator error.
