    1. [KEIM] RE: Henry 1820-1840, Bethlehem PA
    2. Can anyone place this Henry? If all three census is the same Henry, then I have lost some members, somehow. Some of us are working on the (William) Martin KIME/KEIM mystery. Henry KIME, Bethlehem Twp, Northampton Co., 1820, pg 217: 1 male under 10 1 male 10-15 1 male 26-46 1 female 10-15 1 female 10-25 1 female 45 plus Henry KIME, Bethlehem Twp, Northampton Co., 1830, pg 123: 1 male 10-15 1 male 40-50 1 female 40-50 Henry KEIM, Bethlehem Twp, Northampton Co., 1840, pg ? 1 male 40-50 1 female 5-10 1 female 40-50 I have the following observations, IF all three census are the same Henry: 1. It appears as if in 1820 either his mother or mother-in-law was living with him. (explaining the 1 female 45 plus in the house). 2. By 1830, we have lost 1 young boy, and the girls. Assuming they were at the eldest of the age group, they either married off or died. The eldest female was also gone. 3. By 1840, Henry and his wife appear to be around, with a new girl aged 5-10. If William Martin KIME was part of this family, was born in 1819, and stayed at home until enlisting in 1838, then it IS possible that he could be the male 10-15 in the house in 1830. I'm curious to hear any other observations or theories. There are several other KEIM and KIME in the area, and I'm in the process of examing the census. I will continue to post what I find. Happy hunting, Penny
