1. Liahona Research (Orem, UT), compilers. 1996. Marriage Index: Ohio, 1789-1850 (Broderbund CD-400):

2a. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1840 (Broderbund CD-316):

1840 Ely, John F. OH Knox Co. Franklin Twp. p. 394

It is a total mystery to me how this record became indexed as "John." As bad as this census-taker's handwriting is, it is still definitely, if not clearly, "Asher."

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 4 or under 1835-1840 = Clinton (b. 1838/9)

1 male 15-19 1820-1825 = ?

1 male 20-29 1810-1820 = Asher (b. 1813/4)

1 female 20-29 1810-1820 = Rebecca (b. 1820)

The teenager is too old to be their son. Living two doors down from Rebecca's brother, Whitfield GEARHEART.

Rebecca " 29 F "

Clinton " 11 M O

Columbus " 9 M "

L. Ellen " 7 F "

It really does look like a "g," but surely it is meant to be Ely. Living two doors down from Rebecca's brother, Ira GEARHEART.
