Dear Mary, Good point, I suppose I need to go read the microfilm. I need to follow Blackmon Dixon through the 1860, 1870, and 1880 Census anyway. I know there are many transcription errors recorded.

Have you considered the possibility that the Martha aged 26 might have been misrecorded by the census taker (or mistranscribed if you consulted a printed source) and that she was really 46? I've found many such age errors. Mary in Allardt, TN
