Census

Levi Carpenter, 32, farmer; Mary, 19; Albert, 1. All born in Ky.

1860 census of Morgan Co., Ky, division 2, West Liberty P.O., enumerated 27 July, lists on p. 98 as family #648:

Notice that all three of the youngest children from the 1860 census are no longer in the household. The daughter listed as Mary F. age 1 in 1860 must have died very young, for them to reuse the name Mary for another daughter born about 1867. Perhaps a flu epidemic hit the family?

1880 census of Morgan Co., Ky, Hamptons Mill precinct, (page undated), lists on p. 6 as family #52:
Carpenter, Levi S., 60, farmer; Mary, 49, wife; Derinda, 28, dau; Nannie, 18, dau; Lucy, 16, dau; Mary, 13, dau; Valentine, 10, son; Sallie, 7, dau. All born Ky Ky Ky.

They are in the midst of a cluster of Carpenter families, including households headed by Josiah Carpenter age 21 at #53, John Carpenter age 29 at #51, Frank Carpenter age 27 at #47, and Levi Carpenter age 36 at #45.

The Indiana birth place for Levi is a change from what was reported in all the earlier censuses. Mathew must be the son recorded as Valentine age 4 months in 1870, and as Valentine C. on his death certificate.
