Botetourt va -census
Can someone help me with two things.First the deciphering of the 1810 census, I found the census on the vagenweb. The url is
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/botetourt/census/1810/pg633-667.txt
I found two people I am possibly related to my gggggrandmotherRebecca Vadergraft and a Thos Vandergraft.If I read the census right Rebecca has two males 16-26and a female 45>.I would assume that it would be herselfand two sons ( possily my gggggrandfather John and his brother Thomas).Now here is the tricky part, there is also a thomas Vandergraft also listed. That thomas has a male 16-26 and a female 16-26 in the house hold.Would the census taker have listed Thomas separate if he lived at his mother house and had a bride? and would he still be included in his mothers family.The second thing is that, does anyone have the 1820or access to it.I was wandering if these two people show up againor if there is a listing for John Vandegrift.The Vandergrift names has various spellings in my family. Vandergrift, Vandegrift Vandergraft, Vandegraft ect......
Thanks
Ruth Vandergrift Bedwell
