1820 VA Rockingham Co. p. 128 Ln. 13 Cupp Joseph 000010-10100-0-100 no slaves

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 26-44 1775-1794 = Joseph (b. 1787)

1 female 9 or under 1810-1820 = Priscilla (b. 1818)

1 female 16-25 1794-1804 = Barbara (b. 1797)

1 person engaged in agriculture

List is alphabetical, so no neighborhood reconstruction is possible.

1 female 10-14 1815-1820 = Priscilla (b. 1818)

1 female 30-39 1790-1800 = Barbara (b. 1797)

There were no sons in the household in the 1820 census, so the teenage males cannot be our subjects' sons — unless they were twins born in late 1820.

4. 1840 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #75-76 of 242; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

The woman in her 30's is too old to be our subjects' daughter.

5. 1850 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #30 of 40 — indexed "Cripp"): Lanier Twp., Preble Co., OH, p. 317B/634, 1233/1240, enumerated 7 Sep 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

Andrew    " 10 M "

For some reason, nearly all of the ages are off. Was the informant one of the children?

5c. 1850 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #14 of 40 — mis-indexed "Cripp"): Lanier Twp., Preble Co., OH, p. 304B, 1050/1057, enumerated 29 Aug 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Stephen Cloyd 51 M Farmer 4700 Virginia

Eliza " 41 F "

[Stephen & Eliza's eight children]

Lewis Cupp 21 M Virginia

Did Lewis manage to get himself enumerated twice? (It sometimes happens when I child is working out of the home.) He is listed five households from Andrew CUPP, who is the right age to be Lewis's brother, except that Andrew's parents are not our subjects.

6. 1860 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #27 of 44): Lanier Twp., Preble Co., OH, p. 150A, PN 107, 905/875, enumerated 19 Jul 1860 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

I cannot fathom why Barbara was indexed (see next source).
