Hi Kathleen, At the top of the pages just prior to and after the image I am looking for, it says "Geo. Town, 2 Ward," but that's as specific as it gets. In the 1850 census he is listed in the "Georgetown North West Ward." In the 1853 Washington and Georgetown Phone Directory his residence is listed as "angle of Market and High, Georgetown." In the 1858 Boyd's City Directory his residence is listed as "Market near High, Georgetown." I can only assume he would have been in the same place in 1840, and all of this is assuming this "Samuel Kansel" is the same person. I'm pretty sure it is, as this was the closest spelling I found at all. Is that enough to go on?

That spelling is nowhere to be found, but I did find a Samuel Kansel that I believe could possibly be the right one. However, the link takes me to the wrong page, and when I hand advanced to reach the page it was supposed to be, I discovered the page I am looking for is missing. (I reported the error to Ancestry.com.) I also have access to Heritage Quest through my libarary, but they do not have census images for 1840. Does anyone have Genealogy.com or any other access to census records who would be able to do a lookup for me? This is the census data I am looking for: Name: Samuel Kansel Township: Georgetown County: Washington State: District of Columbia Roll: 35 Page: 176 I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
