WWI Draft registration lists his other son as Harry Clay Lybrand, Jr, born 8 February 1890 in Washington, D.C. 1880 Washington, Washington, D.C. 188/231 451 New Jersey Avenue, S. East Emma Lybrand, self, w, f, 42, widow, keeps house, b Ire, father b Ire, mother b Ire Harry C., son, w, m, 20, single, laborer, b Penn, father b Penn, mother b Ire Note: Albert W. Fletcher and mother/siblings living in Philadephia in 1850, 1860, 1870 & 1880 Census, but is listed as single in each, contrary to the 1910 Census record which shows him and Elizabeth married 50 yrs. Question: Harry is already age 20 by 1880 Census, then why is he listed as stepson to Albert W. Fletcher in 1910 Census? Cannot find Harry/Henry in the 1870 census records. As you probably know, Harry and Henry are interchangeable. I do find a Henry Leybrand, age 5/12, in the 1860 Census, Ward 10, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is living in the home of William & Phoebe Landsdown of South Wales. Then there are these census records, which makes me wonder if perhaps Harry/Henry may have been born illegitimate??? The Lybrand family seems to be well-to-do. 1850 North Mulberry Ward, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1603/1788 Margaret Lybrand, 60, f, 10000, b Penn Caroline, 23, f, b Penn Margretta, 20, f, b Penn Sarah, 18, f, b Penn Emma, 16, f, b Penn Mary Birnham, 50, f, b Penn 1860 East Division, Ward 10, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 573/638 Caroline Lybrand, 40, f, 1000, 6000, b Pa Ann M., 38, f, 1000, 6000, b Pa Emma C., 28, f, 1000, 6000, b Pa Sally, 36, f, 1000, 6000, b Pa Mary Burnell, 70, f, domestic, b Del Mary Fitzsimmons, 35, f, domestic, b Ireland 1870 District 28, Ward 10, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 493/586 Caroline Lybrand, 48, f, w, keeps house, 3000, 10000, b Penn Anna M., 47, f, w, at home, 3000, 10000, b Penn Sallie, 45, f, w, at home, 3000, 10000, b Penn E.
