FOOTNOTE TO PREVIOUS LETTER: 1. Moses Bond DOES seem to be OK at age 16 b. about 1834. 2. Samuel Riley Bond, age 2 and John M. Bond, age 1 (in 1850) is "unexplainable" anyway as Maston Bond - their KNOWN father died 3 years previously - how can a census be so wrong? OH HELP HELP ladybug@arends-sons.com

I think perhaps you are looking at grandchildren in the 1850 census....Tabitha at age 58 is a bit "long in the tooth" to have 4 children under 5 years of age. Those early family continued to use the same christian names over and over thru the generations. ladybug wrote: > FOOTNOTE TO PREVIOUS LETTER: > > 1.
