The treasure today is the 1860 United States Census record for Jonathan Oatley (one of my 3rd great-grandfathers) in Killingly (East Killingly Post Office), Windham County, Connecticut:
The two Oatley families on this census:
The extracted information for the two households, enumerated on 29 June 1860:
* Jonathan Oatley - age 70, male, a mason, $1000 in real property, born Conn.
* Annie Oatley - age 60, female, born Conn.
* Benedict Oatley - age 34, male, born Conn.
* Caroline Oatley - age 34, female, born Conn.
* Henry U. Oatley - age 9, male, born Conn.
* Monroe Warner - age 21, male, Laborer, born Conn.
* Sarah Warner - age 17, female, born Conn.
The source citation for the Jonathan Oatley entry is:
1860 United States Federal Census, Windham County, Connecticut, Population Schedule, East Killingly, Page 553, dwelling #584, family #606, Jonathan Oatley household; digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archives Microfilm Series M653, Roll 92.
The obvious errors in this census record include:
* Jonathan's wife, "Annie" was named Amy, and this is the only source I've seen with "Annie."
* Jonathan was born in July 1790, so he should be age 69.
* Amy (Champlin) Oatley was born in March 1798, so should be age 62.
* Jonathan Oatley, Amy (Champlin) Oatley, Benedict Oatley, and Caroline (Mowry) Oatley were born in Rhode Island, not Connecticut.
