Mt.Pleasant, Ohio, 1820

In the census of 1820, we find the following people living at Robert Kerlin’s address :

Males:

under ten years old : 2 ( I’m thinking Robert A., born 1812 he would be 8 years old and Henry T., born about 1817 would be three)

10 and under 16 : 1 ( I think that this is Westly, all indications are that he was born between 1800 and 1810) .

16 and under 26 : 1 ( William B., born 1802, 18 years old)

26 and under 45: 1 ( this might be Robert . If so, Robert is a bit younger than Hannah, who is now 47. Or this could be someone else and Robert is not home at the moment and Robert might be the older man we found in the 1810 census)

Females:

under ten years old : 1 (Sarah Matilda Kerlin was born in 1816, she is four).

10 and under 16 : 1 ( Eliza B. Kerlin, born ca 1808 she is 12)

45 and upwards : 1 ( Hannah is 47 at this point)

The last #2 on the list tells us that two people in the household were engaged in manufacturing.

Manufacturing what ?

In three years time, Robert will be dead.
