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." |

don't know who Martha Jane is, but she was born well after Benoni died.
Elijah is Magdalena's nephew, the orphaned son of Benoni's brother, David
CULP. They are living next door to David's married daughter, Dorcas

Schools.— The first school in Portage Township
was taught by Frederick S. Ankeny in the winter of 1836-37. It was
held in the wagon shop of Benoni Culp, on Section 20, and was attended

died during the term, and the school was closed. The first schoolhouse
was built near Pleasant Hill, about 1837. The next year (1838) a
building was put up in Section 31, on the Moorhead farm, and a school opened
by Miss Rebecca Hedges... The Coopers, Moorheads, Norrises, Culps
and Orams went to this school... |
