2. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1800 (Broderbund CD-312): they should be in PA, but I can't find John, at least not as head-of-household. It appears our subjects either were not yet married or were newly-wed and living with kin.

3. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1810 (Broderbund CD-313): not found, but the 1810 census of Ohio was lost (except for Washington Co.).

*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."

Where is daughter, Lydia (b. 1806)?
