In 1830, Archibald McNinche [sic] appears on the Federal census in Franklin County, Ohio

(central Ohio; the state capitol Columbus is in Franklin County, Ohio).

The 1830 listing is “0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0”, which means:

 

no males under 5;

 

1 male 5-10 [born 1820-1825]; no males 10-15;

 

1 male 15-20 [born 1810-1815];

 

1 male 20-30 [born 1800-1810]; no males 30-40, no males 40-50, no males 50-60;

 

1 male 60-70 [born 1760-1770] [Archibald born bef.1765] [head of household]

 

1 female under 5 [born 1825-1830];

 

no females 5-10, no females 10-15, no females 15-20, no females 20-30, no females 30-40;

 

1 female 40-50 [born 1780-1790].

[1830 Census, Ohio, NARA M19 Roll 131 pg.18, Franklin County, Washington Township].

 

Could these three census records be sightings of the same family over multiple generations?

It’s possible, if the Unk.female.3 under 10 in 1830 is actually a grand-daughter of the original

Archibald (perhaps one of the daughters married and had children, and then lost her husband?).

The older girl (Unk.female 1), born 1784-1795, is clearly old enough (age 36-46 in 1830) to have

a daughter under 10 in 1830; on the other hand, the younger one (Unk.female 2), born ca.1810,

age about 20 in 1830, is less likely to have a daughter under age 10 in 1830. It is also possible

that the older girl (Unk.female 1), born 1784-1795, is the wife of Unk.male.1, born 1765-1784.

There are still lots of un-answered questions here, and some un-traced male lines, including the

two oldest Unk.male’s [one born 1765-1784, second born 1800-1801], last seen in Armstrong

County, Penn., and Unk.male.3, born 1805-1810. last seen in the Ohio River valley ca. 1820.

 

Editor’s Note: Article re-formatted for 2-pages html on website, March 2012 / Frank McAninch;

The original article would print on one page when the Newsletter was originally printed (in 1996),

but the article on the website became two pages when it was printed from the website. Thus, the

original page ‘1996-16’ has been re-formatted as two website pages ‘1996-16(a)’ and ‘1996-16(b)’.
