Arnold - 1840 Census



1840 Census

Sterling Arnold first appears on the 1840 Census in Brunswick County.
He is listed as head of household, a household that contains the following people:

1 M aged 15-20
1 F aged 20-30
1 F aged 50-60

By default, the male has to be Sterling himself, putting him born between 1820 and 1825.
We conjecture that the older woman in the house is his mother.  We will look at evidence for that.
Not sure who the other female is, but we will work on possibilities.

Hewetts on the same page of the census include

Isaac
Alfred
Joseph
Mary
Randall
Uriah
John
Elijah

He's living among a bunch of Hewetts.  There is also a John Sellars -- we'll check him out as a possible future father-in-law later.


There is a Nathan Arnold listed in the county as well, with household

1 M 20-30
1 F 0-5
1 F 15-20

1810 Gaspards of Avoyelles

1810 Daniel Gaspard and Baptiste Gaspard are next to each other Daniel Gaspard Household 1 m <10 1 m 10-15 1 m 16-25 1 m 45+ 1 f <10 1 f 26-44 Baptiste Gaspard Household 1 m 26-44 2 f <10 1 f 26-44 How do these match up with the "standard undocumented genealogy" from ancestry.com? We have the following targets: (a) Daniel Gaspard  I    1746-1818 (b) Daniel Gaspard II    1775-1825 (c) Jean Baptiste I   1776-1843  (d) Jean Baptiste II   ? - 1880  (b) and (c) are sons of (a), and (d) is son of (c) Census Daniel could be (a), but then what are the ramifications? Census Baptiste matches (c) nicely on age.  The reported family dates on the Ancestry "historical family search" don't match very well in either situation. We know from the Avoyelles history book Liz found on google books that (a) and (b) had land next to each other. If the Daniel Gaspard is Daniel Gaspard II, the age is of...

Arnold 1850 census: And now with kids!

I'll start by reminding myself that I need to look at the neighbors of the Arnolds and see how the Hewitts are connected. There are many more Arnolds in Brunswick County in 1850, so I'm just going to list the households, and try to make sense out of them later. In 1850, we have: Household 1 Sterling Arnold       26 Sarah     Arnold       25 Washington Arnold   7 Eliza Arnold              5 John Arnold               4   (<--- great grandfather) Household 2 Anthony Arnold    35 Sarah Arnold         28 Melissa Arnold      10 Drucilla Arnold       8 Mary Arnold            6 Kesiah Arnold         4 Dempsey Arnold     1 Household 3 William Arnold   25  [From South Ca...
