| *In the 1820 Census, the third column is
age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25, which means any
individual in column three is duplicated in column four. So,
for an accurate representation of the household, the number in column three
should be subtracted from the number in column four. If, after the
subtraction, any individuals remain in column four, then they have to be
age 19-25, thus creating a "new," more precise age class. |
The columns following the first 11 were non-standard in Perry County in
1820; those columns were:

6. 1840 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):
| There are two Daniel JACOBS in Ohio: one in Allen County and
one in Mercer County (see extracted records below). There are eight
William JACOBS in Ohio: one each in Allen, Brown, Coshocton, Fairfield,
Franklin, Morgan, Muskingum, and Wayne Counties; the William JACOBS in
Allen County (00001-0001) cannot be our subject.
Geographically, either of these Daniel JACOBS records has the potential
of being our subject because Auglaize County was formed from Allen County
in 1848 and Mercer County is adjacent to Auglaize County. The problem
with the Allen County record is that Daniel and Susan are in the wrong
age class, although that's not enough to rule this record out because such
errors are common in the early censuses, expecially when the informant
is the wife and she's fibbing about her age. The problem with the
Mercer County record is that Sarah, whom we know didn't marry until 1845
so should still be at home, is in the wrong age class; but, again, being
off one age class is a minor error that doesn't rule a record out.
The big problem with the Mercer County record is the five daughters under
age ten, none of whom are living with Susanna in the 1850 census.
These girls can be explained away by postulating a married child with his/her
spouse and children living with them, but this explanation doesn't give
us confidence that we have found our subject.
JACOBS is a common surname, so I think it likely neither of the Daniel
JACOBs in Ohio in 1840 is our subject. Given that Susannah has no
young children with her in the 1850 census (see below), I think it most
likely that in 1840 Susanna is widowed and living with kin, so neither
she nor Daniel show up as head of household. What we need to find
are their tombstones and wills.
