    3. Rebekah is indexed as STATTON instead of STRATTON on Ancestry which is why the family is difficult to find. The 1841 Image is faded but the entry looks like: Stanford, Berkshire Rebekah STRATTON, 40, Ind, born in county George STRATTON, 15, (ditto), born in county Joseph STRATTON, 20, Grocer, born in county Thomas STRATTON, 3, , born in county The enumerator's household 'family' marks may be in the wrong place as there is a single 'slash' after Joseph which perhaps should be after George. My guess would be that there are 2 families in this household, Rebekah and George in the first and Joseph and Thomas in the second. That would explain why the ages appear to be out of sequence.
