I located an ancestor named Calvin Cole (Coles)b. 1847, living with his wife Mary (b. 1851) on the 1870 Federal Census in Jamaica, Queens. They had a 10 month old son named John Henry. Also living with them is Abraham Cole(s) age 53 (b.1817) When I pull up the 1840,1850, and 1860 Census of Jamaica for Abraham Coles, I find Abraham listed as the Head of Household, and only the gender and age of the rest of the occupants, with no names. This format looks more like the earlier 1820-1840 census. I thought the 1850 Census and all of those taken afterward, recorded the names and ages of all occupants.
