Life History

Notes

• 1850 Federal Census, Delaware County, Ohio, 26 September, Oxford Township, page 296B, Hse #2761, Fam #2774
  Wm Shoemaker 26 M Farming $600 Real Estate b Ohio Married within the year [b abt 1824]
  Eliza Ann Shoemaker 18 F b Ohio Married within the year [b abt 1832]
  Wm W Shoemaker 6 M b Ohio [b abt 1844]
  Francis M Shoemaker 3 M b Ohio [b abt 1847]
  Hiram L Shoemaker 3mos M b Ohio [b abt May 1850]
  
  In the 1856 state census, Francis' name does not appear.  But there is a child in his position between William and Hiram, with a matching age.  This is a girl named Mary Ann, which must be some error by the enumerator.  In 1960, the name in that position is again Francis.
