Henry STRAUB
Susanna __?__

WARNING: I have no direct proof that the Susanna STRAUB in the 1850/60/70 censuses of Bond Co., IL, is the widow of the Henry STRAUB in Bond Co., IL, in 1840 — but it is highly likely. Nor do I have direct proof that the Henry STRAUB in the 1840 census of Bond Co., IL, is the same Henry STRAUB who was in the 1830 census of Wayne Co., OH — but it is highly likely.

Of all records for the enumerator to leave the Relationship field blank! I also think the birthplace of Martin's father is incorrect, probably because the six individuals before him in the schedule have "Ky" as the birthplace of the father. Martin should be 38/39; David should be 36/37; Samuel should be 40. If Susan is Sarah, she should be 34/35. If Susan is the Mary's daughter (see Mary's 1870 census record), she should be surnamed ALBRIGHT.
