*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. By subtracting the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create an age class "19-25."

1830 PA Lebanon Co. Heidelberg Twp. p. 126 Ln. 16 Sarah Kopp 010 000 000 - 000 100 010

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 5-9 1820-1825 = Michael? (b. 1819)

1 female 15-19 1810-1815 = Sarah (b. 1812)

1 female 50-59 1770-1780 = Sarah (b. 1780/1)

Where's John? He's only 15, but I supposed he could be living and working out of the home. Listed two lines above Benjamin LANDIS (age 40-50), who may be Sarah's brother.

Elizabeth " 40 F "

Is Elizabeth Sarah's daughter? If so, she's fibbing about her age (or we have an incorrect birthdate?).
