| *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." If the numbers in column three and column four are
equal, then you can eliminate the 19-25 column because all individuals
are 16-18. |
The only other STANG/STONG in Schuylkill County is Henry
STONG.

The teenage boy was not in the household in 1820, so is presumably not
their son. Step-son John STRAUB, Sr., and family are living with
them. Daughter Susanna is married and enumerated with her husband.
