Notes
Census
The Martin Mower household was enumerated on the 1830 census. Individual members other than the head of household are not individually named. A comparison of the ages of the family members with number shown in the various age brackets appear to include all members of the family at the census date, however it appears that the counts for the males are in the column to the right of where I would have expect them to be in order to match up with actual ages. The total household consists of 10 members which agrees with my records. With that caveat, I believe the corresponding members of the household as enumerated were: (a) 2 free white males of 5 years of age and under 10 [George aged 3 and William aged 1]; (b) 2 free white males of age 10 and under 14 [Seward aged 7 and Horace aged 5]; (c) 3 free white males of age 15 and under 19 [John aged 14, Oren aged 13, and Martin Jr. aged 11]; (d) 1 free white male of age 40 and under 49 [Martin aged 39]; (e) 1 free white female of age 5 and under 9 [Emily aged 9]; and (f) 1 free white female of age 30 and under 39 [Mary aged 35].Census
The Martin Moore [sic] household was enumerated on the 1840 census. Individual members other than the head of household are not individually named. A comparison of the ages of the family members with number shown in the various age brackets appear to include all members of the family at the census date, with the exception of Martin's wife Mary who does not appear. A couple individuals appear to be included in the wrong brackets, but their ages are near the cutoff ages. The total household consists of 15 members which agrees with my records for the family at the census date, however as stated Mary does not appear to be included and a additional male of age 20-29, perhaps a hired hand, is included. I believe the corresponding members of the household as enumerated were: (a) 1 free white male under the age of 5 [Charles aged 2]; (b) 3 free white males of 10 years of age and under 15 [Horace aged 15, George aged 13 and William aged 11]; (c) 1 free white male of age 15 and under 19 [Seward aged 17]; (d) 4 free white males of age 20 and under 29 [John aged 24, Oren aged 23, Martin aged 21 and an unidentified individual]; (f) 1 free white male of age 50 and under 59 [Martin aged 49]; (g) 1 free white female under age 5 [Ann aged 3]; (h) 3 free white females of aged 5 and under 9 [Mary Jane aged 9, Angeline aged 7 and Cynthia aged 5]; and (i) 1 free white female of age 15 and under 19 [Emily aged 19].Census
