They were the only Miltons living in Cumberland County during Harvie's life span. I have never included him as part of the family as I had no record of him. His siblings were : John Wesley, b.1838; Mary Jane, b. 1841; Charlotte, b. 1844; Harriet, b. 1846 and Gilford, b. 1848. The 1861 census has the Milton household under John' s name and it contained 1 married male plus 3 single males. The married male would be Elisha(the father) and the 3 single males were John, Gilford and Harvie. There were 2 married females and 1 single female. The married females were Mary Jane(mother) and Mary Jane (daughter) plus Harriet . In the 1871 census we have Elisha living with his daughter Mary Jane Edgett. The mother and son Gilford are living together but we have no Harvie. I can only assume that being 16 years old he has already found his sea legs and left home. Scott
