*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."

Rebecca is said to have married John GORDON, s/o Willis GORDON, but if so, why did she use the surname HAAS in 1850 and why is she HAAS on her tombstone?  Is Gideon really her son?  Is he illegitimate?  Listed next to Valentine's son, John HAAS.
