Fowler Nickell, 32, farmer; Nancy, 29; Claresa, 13; Elizabeth, 12; John, 7; Rebecca, 4; Daniel, 2.

The ages for both Claressa and Elizabeth seem to be inflated by 2 or 3 years. Clarissa’s death record gives her birthdate as 8 Feb 1839, and consisdering that Fowler and Nancy were married in July 1838, it is probably correct. Elizabeth’s death record listed her as age 15 at her death in May 1856.
