Hi Joe, Thanks very much for trying to help. I did pull up all of these Faulkners in VA in 1840, and checked all of the images. Unfortunately none had five female children so this is why I'm really at a loss. It's so frustrating that 1850 is the earliest census containing all the household member's names.

Going to at the end of this email insert a list (from a Geneology.com US 1840 Census Index) of Faulkner households allegedly in Virginia in 1840... Of these I would advise looking first at only the first 4.. due to their location. As I assume you know.. King & Queen Co. was always adjacent (to the West) to Essex Co... while Caroline Co. was crut from the very tops of Essex, King & Queen and King William Cos.. and then a few years later Spotsylvania Co. was also cut from the remaining tops of those 3 Counties... King WIlliam of course having its origins when King & Queen was split lengthwise along the Mattaponni River in order to let people get to the polls to vote easier.. as the fast flowing high banked.. Mattaponni had only a few crossings in the beginniag of the 1700's... Here is the List I got from that Census Index... Note.. I do not trust THESE particular (oldder) Geneology.Com Census Indexes to always have the CORRECT page number listed for a household... so you might have to look around a bit to get the right page...
