The 1880 enumeration for Albert Householder indicates he was born in 1861 so he could still be the son of the 1860 John & Elizabeth Householder. The 1900 enumeration of the Michal & Mary J. Courtney household indicates they have been married 21 yrs but Michal does not appear to be the father of the 3 children in the h/h. I flunked sand pile in kindergarten so it's a little hard for me to try to figure out. Wishing you success in your quest however. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!
