The treasure today is the 1820 United States Census record for the Martin Carringer household in Sandy Creek township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania:
The Martin Carringer entry is near the middle of the page (between Curry and Condit):
The Martin Carringer family information from this record is:
* Head of household: Martin Carringer
* 1 male aged 10 and under 16 (certainly son Joseph born 1805)
* 1 male aged 16 to 18 (probably son Solomam born 1802)
* 3 males aged 16 and under 26 (certainly son Henry born in 1800, son George born in 1795, and one other male)
* 1 male aged 45 years and over (certainly Martin, born in about 1758)
* 2 females aged 16 and under 26 (perhaps Catherine born in 1792, and one other female)
* 1 female aged 45 years and over (certainly wife Molly Carringer, born in about 1768)
* 2 persons who are foreigners and not naturalized

Martin Carringer (about 1758-1835) married Maria Magdalena "Molly" Hoax (1768-1851) in 1785, and they had eight children between 1785 and 1805, with all born before the 1810 census.
Martin and Molly (Hoax) Carringer are my 4th great-grandparents, through their son Henry Carringer (1800-1879) who married Sarah Feather (1804-1848).
