Conemaugh Township, Davidsville Post Office, Somerset County, PA 1870 Census notes http://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/pa/somerset/1870/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Page 274A Line 7. The enumerator did not have indicated that Adam Sr. Keefer's was foreign born. Page 275A Lines 24 to 27. The last name in line 24 is written over. The census index shows the last name as Deets but with the write over and aging, it could be something else such as Deetin or Deeter. Page 276A Line 24. I did not record her name as the enumerator had it because I feel it was an oversight by him. The way he had Eve Stephans name is that Kauffman was carried down through her making it her last name, first name Stephans and middle name Eve. To support my reasoning for feeling this was an oversight is the fact that Line 25 continues with change of surname to Stephans with farm laborer and wife. Page 278B Line 27. The age block was inked over. Age 45 in remarks was found in census index. Page 282B Lines 39 and 40. The enumerator recorded birthmonth of Jan for line 39 when the child was 3 years old; however for child age 5/12 in line 40 does not show a birthmonth. I feel the enumerator accidentely placed the birthmonth in the wrong line. I transcribed it the way the enumerator recorded it. Page 288B. Line 24 is the end of Conemaugh Township that is readable. On lines 25 and 26 there is some writing under the first name column and under sex column 12 is written in. All of this information is then scratched through several times making it unreadable. The remainder of the page is where H. J. Boyts certified to the correctness of the report in which he signed his name H. J. Boyts, Asst. Marsh. I am wondering though if he might not be the Herman J. Boyts listed on line 23. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Census was transcribed by April Phillips and proofread by Mary Bookout for the USGenWeb Census Project, http://www.usgenweb.org/census. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
