The Cornelius Feather entry is the fourth from the bottom:
The extracted information from this record is:
* Head of household: Cornelius Feather
* 1 Male, aged 20-29: [certainly son George, born 1808]* 1 Male, aged 50 to 59 [certainly Cornelius, born in 1777]
* 1 female, aged 10 to 14 [certainly daughter Mary Ann, born 1815]
* 1 female, aged 20 to 29 [perhaps daughter Sarah, born 1804 but married, or some other female]
* 1 female, aged 30 to 39 [perhaps an unknown wife, or a sister or a niece]
The source citation for this marriage is:
"1830 United States Federal Census," Population Schedule, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, Salem township; Page 206, Cornelius Feather household, online database and digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archives Microfilm Publication M19, Roll 149.
I don't think that the female aged 30 to 39 in the 1840 census is Cornelius' first wife or the mother of Sarah Feather.
Cornelius Feather (1777-1853) is my 4th great-grandfather. He married --?-- --?-- (about 1785-before 1830) before 1804 when they had my 3rd great-grandmother, Sarah Feather (1804-1848) who married Henry Carringer before 1825. Cornelius married (2) Mary --?-- (1792-1855) in about 1850.
