1. Marriage Record:

2a. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1810 (Broderbund CD-313):

1810 McKim, Abraham PA Centre Co. Ferguson Twp. p. 147

1810 McKim, David PA Centre Co. Potter Twp. p. 179

1810 McKim, Robert PA Centre Co. Potter Twp. p. 179

2b. 1810 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #2 of 4; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1810 PA Centre Co. Ferguson Twp. p. 174 W^m or A^bm McKim 10010-30010-00

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 9 or under 1800-1810 = Son A

1 male 26-44 1765-1784 = William (b. 1765-70)

3 females 9 or under 1800-1810 = Daughter C
= Daughter B
= Daughter A

1 female 26-44 1765-1784 = Barbara (b. 1780-84)

The subject's given name is ambiguous. In some respects it looks, to me, more like A^bm than W^m, and a check of surrounding pages shows that this enumerator does use both abbreviations. One researcher believes it is William, and the numerical data do not rule out that assertion. Another researcher questions if Abraham isn't William's father, but that we can rule out because the householder in this record is simply not old enough to be our subject's father. I checked the image containing the records of David and Robert, and Robert (æ 45+) is old enough to be William's father, but David (æ 26-44) is not.

3. 1820 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #5 of 9; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1820 PA Centre Co. Ferguson Twp. p. 240 Wm McKim 110001-51110-0-000

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 9 or under 1810-1820 = Son B

1 male 10-15 1804-1810 = Son A

1 male 45 or over in or bef. 1775 = William (b. 1765-70)

5 females 9 or under 1810-1820 = Daughter G
= Daughter F
= Daughter E
= Daughter D
= Daughter C

1 female 10-15 1804-1810 = Daughter B

1 female 16-25 1794-1804 = Daughter A

1 female 26-44 1775-1794 = Barbara (b. 1780-84)

Are all these daughters really theirs? Did Barbara have two sets of twins or a set of triplets or something?

4. 1830 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #5 of 10; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1830 PA Venango Co. Irwin Twp. p. 13 McKim William 110 100 001 - 001 010 100

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 4 or under 1825-1830 = Son D

1 male 5-9 1820-1825 = Son C

1 male 15-19 1810-1815 = Son B

1 male 60-69 1760-1770 = William (b. 1765-70)

1 female 10-14 1815-1820 = Daughter D to G

1 female 20-29 1800-1810 = Daughter A or B

1 female 40-49 1780-1790 = Barbara (b. 1780-84)

Well, it looks like they lost some of the daughters born 1810-20, although the eldest ones could be married.
