The treasure today is the 1850 United States Census record for my Cornelius Feather (1777-1853), my 4th great-grandfather and his wife in Salem township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania:
The entry for Cornelius Feather is:
The information for this family includes:
* Cornelius Feather -- age 73, male, a farmer, $1000 in real property, born NY
* Mary Feather -- age 58, female, born PA
The source citation for this record is:

Cornelius Feather (1777-1853) is my 4th great-grandfather. Mary --?-- (about 1792-about 1855) in the census record is his second wife - I don't know the name of his first wife, who died before 1830. I am descended through their daughter, Sarah Feather (1804-1848), who married Henry Carringer (1800-1879).
