Wow, the clerk's handwriting must have been pretty bad!

2. In the 1850 Census, William was 16 (see parents' page) and Louisa was 17 (see parents' page), which does not agree with their ages in 1860. There are other 1860 Todd Co. census records where the ages are off, so I'm taking the 1860 census to be the unreliable one.
