1. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1800 (Broderbund CD-312). Please see my WARNING regarding use of this database (the numerical data have the genders switched); however, in this record, not only are the genders switched, but the parents are both in the wrong age category. Note that this census-taker made a similar error on George ELY, Jr.'s record. It's my firm policy to make the scenario fit the data, not the other way around, but this case is one where I believe the data are truly in error.
