1830 MO Jefferson Co. Joachim Twp. Roll 72 p. 122 Ln. 9 and 24 Thomas Williams 000 010 - 000 100 no slaves

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

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

1 female 15-19 1810-1815 = Ruth (b. 1810)

Our subject appears to have been enumerated twice, one on Line 9 and again on Line 24. Either that or there were two newlywed Thomas WILLIAMSes in the township, but as there was only one such marriage record, it seems more likely he was accidentally enumerated twice. John WILLIAMS (æ 30-40) is on Line 23, and Peter STROUP is on Line 22.
