2. Census Index: Colonial America, 1607-1789 (Broderbund CD-310): there is no OBORN or OBURN on the CD, and the surnames that could be mis-readings of OBORN appear to be German — our subject is said to be Scottish.

3. 1790 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #9 of 12 — indexed "Obom"; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1790 PA Huntingdon Co. Roll 8 (Book 2) p. 127 Ln. 2 Joseph Obom/Oborn 3-0-1-0-0

These data indicate:

Gender and Type Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

3 free white males 16 or over in or bef. 1774 = Joseph
= Son
= Son

1 free white females all ages in or bef. 1790 = Wife or Daughter

The only other OBURN/OBORN indexed (aside from one in NY) is James OBURN, also in Huntingdon Co., PA. James appears to be a younger man and may be Joseph's son or younger brother.

4. 1800 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #3 of 3; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1800 PA Huntingdon Co. Barree Twp. p. 159 Ln. 18 Joseph Oburn 00011-20010-00

These data indicate:

1 male 26-44 1755-1774 = ?

1 male 45 or over in or bef. 1755 = Joseph

2 females 9 or under 1790-1800 = ?

1 female 26-44 1755-1774 = ?

Joseph is the only OBORN/OBURN indexed. No other surnames, at least none in PA or OH, seem likely mis-readings. So has James died? Has his widow remarried? Where are the two boys born 1790-1800?

5. 1810 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #2 of 4 — only one "J. Owburn" was indexed; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 45 or over in or bef. 1765 = Joseph Sr.

Listed next to another, "J. Owburn," who appears to be Joseph Jr. There are no OBORNs or OBURNs in PA or OH and no other likely mis-readings of them.
