Edward Read 100010 00200 A1 Key: First set are males and second set are females; males are: 0-10; 10-16; 16-18; 18-26; 26-45; 45+; females are: 0-10; 10-16; 16-26; 26-46; 45+ Well the book states for the 4th numeral for males that it is 16-28 but I think they reversed the numbers. A1 is one in agriculture. 1830 Green Twp. Edward Reed 021000 100000 210101 000000 John Reed 110001 000000 200010 001000 1840 Franklin Twp. Edward Reed 000120 0100000 122100 1000000 Malaga Twp.

But notice what they have for 1840, if that is the same John...totally differeent for him and if the John that was in the 1830 has moved on and that is a different John for 1840, then it looks like Edward is your best bet, that is, if they (Arminta) stayed in Monroe Co. Does that make sense..ggg Or Benjamin...he has a girl 10-15. What were Arminta's daughters names? I remember she didn't have any boys before she died. Maybe I can find a marriage for Edward and Benj. -- Bonnie Burkhardt <burkhard@flash.net> <bburkhardt@juno.com>
