1860 Census. Hiram is listed as age 40, Lois as 18, Elizabeth as 16 and Europa as 25. Careful study of this page shows the ages to have been recorded one line "off". Hiram was actually 44 - the age recorded for his mother immediately above. Lois was 40, not Hiram. Elizabeth was 18 and Europa was 16. Living with the family was Michael Burke doing farm labor and Mary Allen as domestic. They were both born in Ireland.
