Jay, I have done that and everything matches except two females under 10 in the 1810 Prince William Co census. That could be two daughters that may have died or two daughters I never found who they married. One of the females showed up in the 1820 Jackson Co Ohio census that I couldn't account for. So actually only 1 female off. Sometimes they took in orphanes etc. so it's really hard to pipoint without names. Thanks for the suggestion. Et ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.M.
