These dates cannot be correct, if for no other reason than that we know Samuel and Violet were still alive in the 1850 census.

3. 1790 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): not found, and I did a page-by-page search of Pendleton District, where Samuel's father, Peter CORBIN, was enumerated.

These data indicate:

1 male 9 or under 1790-1800 = Richard (b. 1795/6 or 97)

1 female 10-15 1784-1790 = ?

1 female 16-25 1774-1784 = Violett (b. 1770/75)

Listed nine lines above William HOOD (æ 16-25). The teenage female is too old to be their daughter

1 female 26-44 1765-1784 = Violett (b. 1770/75)

Samuel's line is the last one on the page and is covered by a translucent binding tape; the entry is so pale, it is barely readable; the first numeral is either 2 or 3, and looks more like a 2. The page is even less unreadable at Genealogy.com. Samuel is listed 17 lines below Widow "Sary" [Sarah SMITH] CORBIN. He's the last entry on the page, while his brother, J. [John] CORBIN, is the first entry on the next page (124A/974).

3 persons 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.
