Summary of Census: With many new differences between census
1.) alternative birth date for Silas 1818 veres 1820.
2.) Different wife Name. This supports family legend what Silas did
remarry.
3.) Silas did not move around. Did he own land?
4.) No.5. I believe Trenis is Zenia. The writting on the census paper
can go either way. My family letter has Zenia
5.) No.6 How and why people miss interupt Isaac and Jacob is beyond
me. Isaac is clearly listed in the 1850 census
5.) Silas is a farmer
The [ ] are my additions to the census I alway evalutate the census
in summary. I do this for every individual in my data base
