Males: 2- 5 < 10; 1-10 < 15; 1- 50 <60 ( Silas born between 1780 and 1790 ) Females: 2- 5 < 10; 1- 15 < 20; 1- 30 < 40. Hope this helps. Hello Helen, Actually, this does help! I had not been able to locate them on the 1840 census - and this is the next county over, from where they were living in Illinois in 1850. It's a Good possibility! Thanks! Marianne in CA
