Census History notes for John Deloit (Spouse 1)
1820 Census. John Lamb is living in Sampson County. His wife is reported as age 45+, a mistake I believe. He is age 26-45 and she surely was too. They have a young male 10-16 (no doubt the one born to John’s first wife in 1808) and three young females all under the age of 10. I believe they were: Elizabeth Carroll, the daughter born to his first wife in 1812 and Catherine Elizabeth born 1818.
1830 Census. John Lamb lives in Sampson County. He is age 40-50 as is his wife. Two males age 20-30 are present, one of them could be the son born in 1808. And three young males are present. I can account for Thomas and George W -- known sons of Rebecca and John who srvived to adulthood. And three young females are present the oldest of which was age 10-15. John and Rebecca had three daughters who survived to adulthood who were no doubt those three, leaving Elizabeth Carroll unaccounted for.
1840 Census. John Lamb lives in Sampson County. He is 50-60 as is his wife. Six younger males are present who could be his sons and perhaps the husband of a married daughter and even a young son of theirs. Plus there are four younger females, his three daughters by Rebecca and perhaps Elizabeth Carroll reappearing, the younger female age 40-50. There is also a female age 80-90 present. I believe this was Rebfcca’s widowed mother Priscilla Bass.
