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, not only are the genders switched, but the parents are in the wrong age classes. Note that this census-taker made a similar error on Caleb ELY's record. It's my firm policy to make the scenario fit the data, not the other way around, but these are cases where I believe the data are truly in error. (The 1800 Census of Northumberland Co. was not recorded by township.)
