4. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1820 (Broderbund CD-314): can't find, at least not in Orange County. There's a William BURRUS in Campbell Co., VA, and three in Caroline Co., VA. Did our subject really live all his life in Orange County?

These data indicate:

No., Race, Gender Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 white male 10-14 1815-1820 = Son?

1 white male 15-19 1810-1815 = Robert (b. 1814)

2 white males 20-29 1800-1810 = William Jr. (b. 1809)

1 white male 60-69 1760-1770 = William (b. 1776)

2 white females 15-19 1810-1815 = Daughter?

1 male slave 9 or under 1820-1830 = ?

Either William is in the wrong age class or his birthyear is wrong, but there can be little doubt these are our subjects.
