I may be wrong and everyone feel free to correct me, but did not the counties change some time close to these dates? I look at age of wife and children, and that makes me think they could be listed in another county due to county lines changing. Just something to think of when researching this county and the dates that would apply ... Okay, someone now show me the error of my calculation here and set me straight. Be gentle....plezz...
