The treasure today is the 1840 U.S. Census record for the Daniel Spangler household in Sandy Creek, Mercer County, Pennsylvania:
The Daniel Spangler census entry is the second from the bottom entry on the image above::
Head of household: Daniel Spangler
* No males enumerated [where is Daniel? He should be in the Males 50 to 59 column]
* 2 females under age 5 [probably daughter Louisa born in 1839, and an unknown female child]
* 1 female aged 5 to 9 [probably daughter Rebecca born in 1832]
* 2 females aged 10 to 14 [probably Dorothea born in 1827 and perhaps Helen born in 1831]
* 2 females aged 15 to 19 [probably Elizabeth born in 1822, and Sarah born in 1824]
* 1 female aged 20 to 29 [perhaps daughter Anna Maria born in 1818, but she married in 1835]
* 1 female aged 40 to 49 [certainly wife Elizabeth, born in 1796]

Daniel Spangler (1781-1851) was my 3rd great-grandfather, who married Elizabeth King (1796-1863) in 1815 in York, Pennsylvania and they had ten children between 1818 and 1841. I am descended through daughter Rebecca Spangler (1832-1901), who married David Jackson Carringer in 1851 in Mercer County.
