5.  1850 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #31 of 59):  Town of Burke, Franklin Co., NY, Roll M432_505, p. 293, 180/201, enumerated 15 Jul 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

James Racy	57	M		Farmer	400	NY
Clarissa "	52	F				"
John     "	22	M		"		"
Eliza    "	16	F				"
Mary     "	14	F				"
Gillis   "	10	M				"
Ann      "	5	F				"
Armon    "	19	M		"		"
George   "	34	M		"		"

Based on other records, James was born in VT and Clarissa in NJ, so it seems the blanket "NY" as birthplace for everyone is erroneous, which is too bad because it's the only shot we had at George's birthplace.    Surely Clarissa is too old to be Ann's mother.  George is a widower here, and Ann appears to be George's daughter, but if so, why is she not listed after him? Where is George's son, Bethuel?  And why are Armon and George listed last?
