Treasure Chest Thursday - 1820 U.S. Census for Partridge and Wakeman in Ashtabula County, Ohio

It's Treasure Chest Thursday - an opportunity to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history research and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1820 U.S. Census record for the Thomas Partridge, Jasper Partridge and Sarah Wakeman households in Wayne, Ashtabula County, Ohio:

The three households were enumerated in lines 5,6 and 7:

The extracted information for each family:

*  Sarah Wakeman household:

• 1 female aged 45 years or older (certainly Sarah (Hill) Wakeman)

*  Jasper Partridge household:

• 3 males under age 10 (likely a son of Jasper)
• 1 male aged 26 to 44 (certainly Jasper)
• 1 female under age 10 (likely a daughter of Jasper)
• 1 female aged 18 to 25 (likely a daughter of Jasper)

*  Thomas Partridge household:

• 2 males aged 10 to 18 (likely sons Isaac and William)
• 1 male aged 18 to 26 (likely son David)
• 1 male aged 45 years or over  (certainly Thomas Partridge)
• 1 female under age 10 (perhaps daughter Sarah?)

1820 United States Federal Census, Ashtabula County, Ohio, population schedule, Wayne township, page 27 (penned), Thomas Partridge household; imaged, "1820 United States Federal Census," Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/50808:7734);  Original data: Fourth Census of the United States, 1820. (NARA microfilm publication M33, 142 rolls). Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29. National Archives, Washington, D.C.

Thomas Partridge (1758-1828) was born 15 December 1758 in Guilford, Windham County, Vermont, the son of Jasper and Mary (Rice) Partridge.  He died 1 October 1828 in Gustavus, Trumbull County, Ohio.  Thomas married (1) Hannah Wakeman (1763-1814) on 2 October 1785 in New York.  They had 11 children.  Thomas Partridge married (2) to Catharine (Kelley) Pelton (1765-1832) on 12 November 1822 in Gustavus, Ohio.  They had no children. 

Jasper Partridge (1763-1836) was a brother of Thomas Partridge, and son of Jasper and Mary (Rice) Partridge.  

Sarah (Hill) Wakeman (1742-1832) was the wife of George Wakeman (1740-1815) and the mother of Hannah (Wakeman) Partridge, the wife of Thomas Partridge. 

Thomas and Hannah (Wakeman) Partridge are my 5th great-grandparents, through my 4th great-grandmother Mary Partridge (c1792-1855) who married Cornelius Feather (1777-1853) in about 1804, probably in Ashtabula County, Ohio.
