The treasure today is the 1850 United States Census record for my Henry White family (my second great-grandfather) in Killingly town, Windham County, Connecticut:
The Henry White household:
The extracted information for the Henry White family, enumerated on 19 September 1850, is:
* Henry White - age 26, male, a Weaver, born Gloucester R.I.
* Amy White - age 24, female, born So. Kingston R.I.
* Ellen F. White - age 5, female, born Killingly Ct, at school
* Julia E. White - age 3, female, born Killingly Ct
* Emily E. White - age 2, female, born Killingly Ct
The source citation for this 1850 census entry is:
1850 United States Federal Census, Windham County, Connecticut, population schedule, Killingly town; Page 360 (stamped), dwelling #582, family #635, Henry White household, digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archives Microfilm Publication M432, Roll 51.
The only minor errors I see are in the ages of Julia and Emily:
* Julia was born 8 September 1848, so on 1 June 1850 (the "official" census day), she would have been 1 year old rather than 3 years old . However, on the day the census was take, she would have been 2 years old.
* Emily was born 15 October 1849, so she should have been enumerated as 8/12 "officially," or 11/12 on the day the census was taken.
There is an interesting feature of this particular census record: The birthplace includes the town and the state, rather than just the birth state.
This is the earliest record that I have for Julia's first name being "Julia" - several other records have her as "Juliet" or "Juliette." She went by Juliette as an adult, I believe.
This is the only record I have where Julia has a middle initial - I believe it is E. She may have been Julia Elizabeth White. A sister was Emily Elizabeth White. Another sister was Ellen Frances White.
