      http://www.sussexhistory.org/annals/marriage-records/marriages-docket-daniel-predmore/

      GROOM: FRENCH, CONGLENTON
      BRIDE: MORIS, MARTHA
      DATE: 13 DEC 1798

      [Note by compiler: Daniel Predmore was a Justice of the Peace in Sussex County, NJ.]

      (3) A household headed by John C. FRENCH is listed in the 1820 census of Moreland Township, Lycoming County, PA.

      Listed in John C.'s household are 2 free white males under 10 years of age; 2 free white males between 10 and 16 years of age; 1 free white male between 26 and 45 years of age; 1 free white female under 10 years of age; 2 free white females between 10 and 16 years of age; 1 free white female between 16 and 26 years of age; and 1 free white female over 45 years of age.

      Assuming that John C. is the free white male listed in the 1820 census as then being between 26 and 45 years of age, he would have been born between 1775 and 1794, according to the 1820 census.

      Assuming that John C.'s wife is the free white female listed in the 1820 census as then being over 45 years of age, she would have been born before 1775, according to the 1820 census.

      Assuming that the other persons in John C.'s household are children of John and/or his wife, those children would have consisted of four sons (which sons would have consisted of two sons who would have been born between 1804 and 1810, and two sons who would have been born 1810 and 1820, according to the 1820 census) and three daughters (which daughters would have consisted of one daughter who would have been born between 1794 and 1804, and two daughters who would have been born between 1804 and 1810, according to the 1820 census).

      (4) A household headed by John C. FRENCH is listed in the 1830 census of Moreland Township, Lycoming County, PA.

      Listed in John C.'s household are 1 free white male between 10 and 15 years of age; 1 free white male between 50 and 60 years of age; 1 free white female between 10 and 15 years of age; and 1 free white female between 50 and 60 years of age.

      Assuming that John C. is the free white male listed in the 1830 census as then being between 50 and 60 years of age, he would have been born between 1770 and 1780, according to the 1830 census.

      Assuming that John C.'s wife is the free white female listed in the 1830 census as then being between 50 and 60 years of age, she would have been born between 1770 and 1780, according to the 1830 census.

      Assuming that the other persons in John C.'s household are children of John C. and/or his wife, those children would have consisted of one son (which son would have been born between 1815 and 1820, according to the 1830 census) and one daughter (which daughter would have been born between 1815 and 1820, according to the 1830 census).

      (5) A household headed by John C. FRENCH is listed in the 1840 census of Moreland Township, Lycoming County, PA.

      Listed in John C.'s household are 1 free white male between 60 and 70 years of age; and 1 free white female between 60 and 70 years of age.

      Since only one male is listed in John C.'s household, he must be the free white male listed in the 1840 census as then being between 60 and 70 years of age. He was born between 1770 and 1780, according to the 1840 census.

      Assuming that John C.'s wife is the free white female listed in the 1840 census as then being between 60 and 70 years of age, she would have been born between 1770 and 1780, according to the 1840 census.

      [Note by compiler: In the 1840 census, John C.'s household is listed next to a household headed by Benjamin FRENCH.]

      (6) A household headed by John C. FRENCH is listed in the 1850 census of Moreland Township, Lycoming County, PA.

      John C. is listed in the 1850 census as a farmer who was then 80 years of age; therefore, according to the 1850 census, he was born in about 1770. According to the 1850 census, he was born in NJ.

      Listed with John C. is Mary, who was then 45 years of age; therefore, according to the 1850 census, she was born in about 1805. According to the 1850 census, she was born in PA. The relationship between John C. and Mary is not listed in the 1850 census. However, some sources have inferred that Mary was John C.'s wife. However, the compiler has not found a record of a marriage of John C. to Mary.

      Also listed with John C. is George, who was then 18 years of age; therefore, according to the 1850 census, he was born in about 1832. According to the 1850 census, he was born in PA. The relationship between John C. and George is not listed in the 1850 census. However, some sources have inferred that George was John C.'s son. If so, George would have been born out of wedlock when John C. was married to Martha MORRIS.

      Also listed with John C. is Margaret A., who was then 11 years of age; therefore, according to the 1850 census, she was born in about 1839. According to the 1850 census, she was born in PA. The relationship between John C. and Margaret A. is not listed in the 1850 census. However, some sources have inferred that Margaret A. was John C.'s daughter. If so, Margaret A. would have been born out of wedlock when John C. was married to Martha MORRIS.

      Also listed with John C. is Sarah, who was then 8 years of age; therefore, according to the 1850 census, she was born in about 1842. According to the 1850 census, she was born in PA. The relationship between John C. and Sarah is not listed in the 1850 census. However, some sources have inferred that Sarah was John C.'s daughter. If so, Sarah would have been born out of wedlock when John C. was married to Martha MORRIS.
