2 females 9 or under 1810-1820 = Daughter A
= Susan (b. 1811/2)

1 female 26-44 1775-1794 = Elizabeth

1 engaged in agriculture

Where is Hettie? She didn't marry until 1824, so she should be at home, in the 10-15 age class. Is she working out of the home? Listed one line above Samuel DRAKE, one line below John RUNKLE, and three lines below John DRAKE. Also in county: Joseph CUPP and Coonrod CUPP.

3. 1830 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #5-6 of 24 — mis-indexed "Cuss"; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

These data indicate:

2 males 4 or under 1825-1830 = Son B

1 female 10-14 1815-1820 = Susan (b. 1811/2)

1 female 30-39 1790-1800 = Elizabeth

Either Susan was placed in the wrong age class or we have her birthyear wrong, but she did not marry until 1836, so surely she is still at home.

4. 1840 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #20-21 of 44 — the numerical data pages precede the names pages; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

5. 1850 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #6 of 16): Bloom Twp., Wood Co., OH, p. 139B/278, enumerated 24 Aug 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

473 498 William Drake 40 M Penn

Susan 38 F Ohio

Washington Cup 14 M Ohio

494 Abert Stouard 43 M Vermont

Hannah 18 F Ohio

Sarah ? 13 F "

Charles A 12 M "

Ruth B 9 F "

Elizabeth appears to be fibbing about her age. Susan (CUPP) DRAKE is Elizabeth's daughter, and Washington is almost certainly Elizabeth's son. Abert appears to be a widower with four children; he may be just a boarder, or he could be Elizabeth's son-in-law. Could "Abert Stouard" be Albert STEWARD?

6a. AIS (Accelerated Index System) 1860 Census Index (online at Ancestry.com): not found, and Wood Co., OH, is indexed in the database.

6b. 1860 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com): I checked Bloom Twp., Wood Co., OH, line-by-line and did not find Elizabeth.

7. 1870 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #18 of 36 — mis-indexed as "Cupt"): Bloom Center P.O., Bloom Twp., Wood Co., OH, p. 285B, PN 18, 143/141, enumerated 20 Jul 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

Delansa Reuben 22 M W Farmer 700 350 Ohio

_______ Hulda 28 F W Keeping House Ohio

[Reuben & Huldah's children]

Cupp Elizabeth 62? F W No Occupation Pennsylvania

This record was difficult to read, especially the numbers; Elizabeth should be aged ca. 73, not 62. Huldah (DRAKE) DELANCY is Elizabeth's granddaughter, daughter of Susan (CUPP) DRAKE. Living next door to Elizabeth's grandson, Samuel CUPP.

8. Adjutant General of Ohio. nd. Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War of 1812. Transcription of 1916 (online at the Ohio Historical Society web site). This text was digitized with OCR (optical character recognition) software and contains the mistakes typical of that process.

Roster 7,
p. 33 Pages 189-190.
ROLL OF CAPT. ROBERT REID'S COMPANY.
(Probably from Delaware County.) Served from July 28, until Sept 6, 1813.

Sergt. _____ Missamore...
Privates...
Cup, Phillip...
Cupt, Conrad...

Almost certainly, "Cupt" was a mistake in OCR. Philip and Conrad are believed to be brothers; their Sergeant may have been Philip's father-in-law.
