Peter STROUD
Margaret ATCHESON

Caution: secondary sources equate the Peter STROUD in the 1820 census of St. Clair Co., IL, with the Peter STROUD in the 1830 census of Clark Co., AR, but I'm not entirely convinced. It's a strange move, in the first place, especially as he's said to have died back in Illinois, and there's no carry over of children from 1820 to 1830. Did all three die? Caveat emptor.

I have no idea where this list of names came from, nor can I find any of them in marriage records or the 1850 census.

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 males 9 or under 1810-1820 = Son B
= Son A

1 male 19-25* 1794-1801 = Peter (b. ca. 1794)

1 female 9 or under 1810-1820 = Daughter A

1 female 16-25 1794-1804 = Margaret (b. ca. 1797)

1 person engaged in agriculture

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25, which means any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. So, for an accurate representation of the household, the number in column three should be subtracted from the number in column four. If, after the subtraction, any individuals remain in column four, then they have to be age 19-25, thus creating a "new," more precise age class.
