I am wondering how to interrpret the 1840 Census for North Branford. There is an entry: Robert Byington, then underneath him is Harmon R. Byington. In the columns for people at what ages Robert has many checks for ppl different ages and Harmon has no checks. Who is Harmon and why is he listed and no one else in the family? Above and below him they actually seem to list all the peopl ein the family because I see female and male names. So, is Harmon another Byington adult living at that residence, one of Robert's kids? What have you all found as to the rhyme and reason the transcribers had when taking the 1840 census? -Grace
