Treasure Chest Thursday - 1880 U.S. Census Record for David Auble Family


It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1880 United States Census record for my Auble great-great-grandparents and their family in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana (on two census pages):



The David Auble family entries (on two census pages):



The extracted information for the family, residing at 411 Chestnut Street in Terre Haute, taken on 2 June 1880, is:

*   David Auble -- white, male, age 63, married, shoe maker, born NJ, father born NJ, mother born NJ
*  Sarah G. Auble -- white, female, age 62, wife, married, keeps house, born NJ, father born NY, mother born NJ) 
*  Charles Auble -- white, male, age 30, son, single, painter, born NJ, father born NJ, mother born NJ
*  Fannie Auble -- white, female, age 32, daughter, single, at home, born NJ, father born NJ, mother born NJ
*  Katherine Auble -- white, female, age 24, daughter, single, at home, born New Jersey, father born NJ, mother born NJ
*  Anna M. Auble -- white, female, age 20, daughter, single, at home, born NJ, 
father born NJ, mother born NJ

The source citation for this record is:

1880 United States Federal Census, Vigo County, Indiana, Population Schedule, Terre Haute: Pages 503D/504A (stamped), Dwelling #59, Family #63, David Auble household; digital images, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 29 October 2011); citing National Archives Microfilm Publication T9, Roll 319.

The only error I see in this family enumeration is the age of Fannie (she was born in October 1846 according to the 1900 census, the only record I have for her birthdate, and therefore was 33 instead of 32).  Note that Charles Auble is age 30 in this record, which conflicts with his age in the 1900 U.s. Census, 1910 U.S. Census and his death certificate.  He was born in 1849 according to the 1850 through 1880 U.S. census records...and lied about his age throughout his married life after 1898.
