    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ncB.2ACE/1474.2 Message Board Post: Was looking at the 1860 census and came across Benjamin Risher, head of household , dwelling #990, family # 928. He was the only member of the household, and is shown as Benjamin Risher, age 50, male, farmer. Benjamin B. Risher was shown as being 34 years old in 1850 and would have been 44 in 1860, not 50 years old. Possibly someone gave the census taker wrong information about his age n 1850 or 1860.
