Census Notes for Joseph N. & Nancy (Family)
1850 census of Carter Co., Ky, district 2, enumerated 13 Sep, lists on p. 52 as family #323:
Joseph Ham, 58, farmer, b. Va; Nancy, 57, b. Ky; Mahala, 18; Perry, 16; Susan, 13; Cheton, 9. All children born in Kentucky.

The preceding household is headed by Amariah Enix (spelled as Enoch), who is married to their daughter Matilda. The next household is that of Robert Wood age 71, with whom Thomas W. Ham age 20 is living, apparently as a farmhand. Also on the same page are families headed by Peter A. Ham age 25 with wife Rebecca, Harvey Ham age 34 with wife Mary, and Jeremiah Ham age 29 with wife Sarah.

Shelton (shown here as Cheton) may be a grandson rather than a son, since Nancy would have been about 48 when he was born.

1860 census of Carter Co., Ky, Upper Tygart district, enumerated 11 June, lists as pp. 2-3 family #13:
Jos Ham, 68, b. Va, farmer; Sheton B., 18, b. Ky.

The next household is headed by Amariah Enix (listed as Amari Enox), who is married to Joseph and Nancy’s daughter Matilda.
