Sources (n.b., the 1790-1820 censuses of NJ are missing):

3. 1830 U.S. Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #1 of 142; official enumeration date 1 Jun 1830; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

1830 NJ Essex Co. Newark Twp. Roll M19_79 p. 261 Ln. 23 Moses Lyon 001 000 100 - 211 001

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 10-14 1815-1820 = William (b. 1816/7)

1 male 40-49 1780-1790 = Moses (b. 1780 or 1787/8)

2 females 4 or under 1825-1830 = Daughter D

1 female 10-14 1815-1820 = Daughter A

1 female 30-39 1790-1800 = Wife

There are two Moses LYONs in the census of New Jersey, both in Newark Twp., Essex Co., and both age 40-50, but only this one has a son the right age to be William.

Emma       do 39 F England

Moses's age could be correct here or correct in 1860. William should be age 33, not 39. Where is "Daughter E"?
