Now you have me really confused. At 02:53 PM 12/8/99 -0600, you wrote: <snip> >James Ham(b)rick and Susanna were living in Rutherford, <snip> >In 1790 he <snip? had one boy and a wife >with three girls, and one older female. > >In 1800 he had a son 16-26, probably William, a girl 0-10, >2 girls 10-16, his wife, and an older woman over 45 >perhaps his wife's mother. <snip> >Since the 1800 census accounts for only three girls and >a boy probably William, Jenny, Molly, and Rebecca; I would >think George , Ann, and Susanna were born after 1800. >I have William no birthrate about 1724 >I have Sally birthdate 5 Oct 1776 >I have Elizabeth no birthdate about 1778 >I have Mary no birthdate about 1772 >I have George 20 Jan 1781 >I have Ann no Birthdate about 1783 >I have Susannah 22 May 1786 You say that in 1790 he has a wife, one son and three daughters? In 1800 he has a wife, a son, and three daughters? Okay, William would have been 66 in 1790 and 76 in 1800 (based on the above birth date; I hope that's a typo). Sally would have been 13 (on 1 Jan) in 1790 and 23 in 1800. When did she marry? Elizabeth would have been 11 or 12 in 1790 and 21/22 in 1800. When did she marry? Mary would have been 18 in 1790 and 28 in 1800. George would have been 9 and 19. Ann would have been 7 and 17. Susannah would have been just under 4 and just under 14. In all probability, Susannah would have still been living at home in 1800. Quite likely Ann was also still at home in 1800. And it's very possible that George was also home still at age 19 (although that one is iffy). Now the part that really confused me. If you have a date of birth for George of 20 Jan 1781, why would you write that he was born after 1800? If Susannah was born 22 May 1786, did she die and another daughter was born after 1800 and named Susanna (without the "h")? And if James is married to Susanna, who on earth is Pricilla - a second wife? Like I said, I'm really, really confused by this. Are you saying that someone somewhere made up some of the birthdates? I truly don't understand! Pat motesp@hiwaay.net
