1790 NH Cheshire Co. Swanzey Roll M637_5 p. 122 Ln. III-2 John Grimes 1-1-4-0

These data indicate:

Gender and Type Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 free white males 16 or over in or bef. 1774 = John (b. 1766)

1 free white males 15 or under 1774-1790 = Son A

4 free white females all ages in or bef. 1790 = Tryphena (b. 1765)
= Lydia (b. 1785)
= Tryphena (b. 1788)
= Mary (HOLLON) RASEY (b. 1732)

We can't be certain the 4th woman is Tryphena's mother, but it's likely. In 1800, Mary is living with Tryphena's brother, Pelatiah.

1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1765 = Tryphena (b. 1765)

1820 NH Cheshire Co. Swanzey Roll M33_59 p. 422 Ln. 9 John Grimes 000001-12111-0-100

These data indicate:

1 male 45 or over in or bef. 1775 = John (b. 1766)

1 female 9 or under 1810-1820 = ?

1 female 26-44 1775-1794 = ?

1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1775 = Tryphena (b. 1765)

1 person engaged in agriculture

Assuming the birthdate we have for Tryphena is correct, it's very unlikely she had a child born after 1810; and no secondary source lists one for her. Listed one line below son, John GRIMES, Jr. (110010-00100-0-100).

6. 1830 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #7 of 28 — list was roughly alphabetized; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

1830 NH Cheshire Co. Swanzey Roll 74 p. 194 Ln. 23 John Grimes 000 000 001 - 001 000 001

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 60-69 1760-1770 = John (b. 1766)

1 female 10-14 1815-1820 = ?

1 female 60-69 1760-1770 = Tryphena (b. 1765)

The young girl with them in 1830 appears still to be with them. If she's the same girl, her age here makes it a certainty she is not Tryphena's daughter. He is the only GRIMES in Swanzey.

7. 1840 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #7-8 of 26 — list was roughly alphabetized; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

Cyrene Johnson 49 M Carpenter 600 Vt

Susan " 48 F NH

Josephine C " 5 F NY

Tryphena Grimes 85 F Conn

If Tryphena truely was born in Connecticut, then we need to rethink her parents' locations.
