*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."

Listed one line above Daniel's brother-in-law, Elijah CHENEY.

1 person employed in manufactures and trades

Polly is too old to have birthed the boy born 1835-40, so presumably he is a grandson. Also in Munson Township: Polly's sister, Abigail (CHENEY) HOLT GALUSHA.
