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 1850 United States Census record for the Lawton Wade household in Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut:
The snippet showing the Lawton Wade family is:
The extracted information for the Lawton Wade household in Killingly, enumerated on 5 September 1850:
* Lawton Wade - age 34, male, a machinist, $100 in real property, born foster, R.I.

The person in this household that I am really interested in is Simon Wade, Lawton Wade's father according to other derivative works. He was not found in the 1840 and 1830 U.S. census records, but I knew that he died in 1857 in Killingly according to Killingly town records. Simon is my 4th great-grandfather.
This census record does add new information to my database by providing the names of the children of Lawton and Aleph (Handel) Wade.
