Given Rosanna's age, certainly none with George, even if they were actually married.

*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.

It's disturbing to find this many discrepancies two censuses in a row. Is this really our subject?

Is this household really our subjects? Do we have a sloppy census-taker? A mistaken informant? Bad birthdates?

6. 1850 Census Index/Microfilm (online at GenealogyLibrary.com): East Finley Twp., Washington Co., PA, p. 544B, 123/123, enumerated 28 Oct 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

George Ely 72 M Farmer 2500 Pa

Martin " 23 M " "

Nancy " 22 F "

Rosana " 3 F "

Silas " 1 M "

George's age, here, is not consistent with the 1810 or 1830 censuses, which show him to be a slightly younger man — in his 60s rather than his 70s. Are we seeing age inflation? We need to see the 1860 census. Martin ELY is George's son, Nancy his daughter-in-law, and Rosanna and Silas his grandchildren.

Listed between George's married son, Martin ELY, and George's widowed daughter-in-law, Eleanor (SPROWLES) ELY.
