I am working on William Severs born l752 who lived in Anderson County in the early l800 to l849 when he went to Nodaway Co MO and died there in l852 (Yes age l00). I found the l8l0 and 20 Census unhelpful but l830 was enlightening. Wm was listed 112000001 2210011 This would translate l male under5 1 male 5-10, 2 males 10-15 and one male 60-70 There are no known children after l8ll, so if these figures are accurate there are several grandchildren living with them or something is strange. the females would be the same 2 under 5, 2 5-l0, and 1 was l0-l5 and Catherine was the last 1 which would be 40-50 (she was probably closer to 80 so ???) That leaves 1 female age 30-40 who is probably the mother of some of the smaller children and a widow or divorced female. Living adjacent were known Children of Wm Severs and Catherine Peck who were John Severs and Rebecca Vandergriff 20001 and100001 (guess Rebecca was a little older than John or he was kidding her when he gave that data). Wm Severs Jr. with wife Tolinda 21001 11001 Probably he was about 33 and not 20-30. Also living nearby were George Severs 110001 10001 James Severs 0001 1001 this would make James 20 or under with one child (female) and also 20 or under (maybe l5). George would be 30-40 with wife 20-30 and 3 smaller children. James and George are suspect children but unproven totally. Missing were known children (1) Mary Polly Severs born l795 or 6 but she married Wm Lamar in l8ll (2) Daniel H Severs born l800 and (3) Charles J Severs born 1811 and (4) Jacob Peck Severs born l809. Daniel H Severs was in Madison Co MO Census, Jacob Peck Severs was in Jefferson Co Ky by l830, and Charles J Severs seemed to be in transit to Washington Co AR where he was known before l835. Does anyone Know anything of James or George Severs and their children and whether they were children of Wm Severs and Catherine Peck or someone else. Other connected familes seem to be Vandergriff, Leinart Best Charles Severs
