Residence24 Jul 1850There are 2 census sheets attached for 1850. Tioga NY census was much earlier than Bradford PA. Appears Ira and his wife were captured twice in the census. 1st time, Ira living with his in-laws. - Barton, Tioga, New York, USA
Residence24 Oct 18502nd census entry, in Bradford PA, in late Oct. Believe this late date caused Ira to be captured a 2nd time, after he moved from the Sissen household. (Later, the rest of the Sissens also moved to Bradford PA.) - Athens, Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA
