2. 1830 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #53-54 of 62; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1830 KY Spencer Co. Roll M19-41 p. 347 Ln. 20 John Porter 100 010 - 000 000 100 no slaves

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 4 or under 1825-1830 = William (b. 1829/30)

1 male 20-29 1800-1810 = John (b. 1803/4)

0 female 20-29 1800-1810 = Catherine (b. 1808)

1 female 40-49 1780-1790 = mother-in-law?

I have no explanation, beyond enumerator error, for Catherine's absence from the tally. This is surely our subject because he is listed next to Catherine's widowed mother, Amelia CARRICO.
