He is a farmer. His real estate is valued at $500, and his personal estate at $200. He and his wife can read and write.

[Fletcher 14, x, Jeremiah Jr 30?, Jeremiah 49, Elizabeth 6, Mary Ann 10, x, Kesia 46]

I wonder if Lucinda + William are living with him. I haven't found them on the 1840 census yet.

Who are all those extra people? I think this has to be my Jeremiah. His father was already dead, and I don't know of another Jeremiah in the area.
