In the 1850 census records I have noticed where a young man is listed with his parents. Then there could be another young man with the same name and the same age listed with a different family, only the 2nd one is listed as a laborer. Could they be the same person, only living at home but working for someone else? Has anyone ever come across this in their research besides me?
