Cumberland Listers, Thanks to all who responded to my questions; what quick and helpful answers! In response to Donna: I am researching Jacob Edelblute (listed in 1790 US Federal Census, PA, Cumberland Co., Hopewell, Newton, Tyborn, and Westpensboro Townships census as "Jacob Edlebloot"). I show b. ~ 1746, but ancestry.com AGBI states b. 175? in PA. I am wondering if there is a way to tell in which Twp. he lived from the location on the census rolls (i.e., Roll M637_8, p. 84, image 0553). My ultimate goal (right now) is to find out who was his wife. Are there marriage records that go back that far? As a side note, the 1790 census shows 3 males over age 16, 6 males under age 16, and 1 female for Jacob's household! Whoever his wife was, she had her hands full with house full of boys. ;-) Trevor > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Donna Heller Zinn [mailto:djzinn@pa.net] >Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2002 9:35 AM >To: PACUMBER-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [PACUMBER] 1790 US Census - PA > > >Hi Tevor and Fellow Listers: > >I don't have the 1790 Census form in front of me - so I can't say for >sure what you wrote is correct or not but feel sure you are.
