2. 1820 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #15 of 37; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

1820 SC York District Capt. John Daniel's Company Roll M33_121 p. 163 Ln. 36 James Strain 000100-20100-0-100 no slaves

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 19-25* 1794-1801 =

2 females 9 or under 1810-1820 =

1 female 16-25 1794-1804 =

1 person engaged in agriculture

*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."

The name and location are right, but the numbers don't remotely match, yet I can't find any other James STRAIN in the county.
