Historical Notes

In the 1850 Census of Wapello County, Iowa we find this very interesting entry for James Fulton and his family:

Fulton, James	39	b. Ohio
Catherine	37	b. VA
Henry	14	b. Ohio
Mary A.	13	b. Ohio
Wm.	11	b. Ohio
Catherine	7	b. Ohio
Elizabeth	6	b. Ohio
Caroline	3	b. Ohio
Geo.	2	b. Ohio

The interesting point? Why are all of the children's ages listed correctly, but both James and Catherine are listed as four years older than they actually were.
