Robert Scott in the 1840 Census In the 1840 census, Robert Scott’s household in Caswell County, North Carolina had changed significantly from 1830. By comparing the tick marks with probate records, marriage records, and later census entries, we can identify the remaining members of the household, narrow the window of Lucretia Scott’s death, and trace the family’s eventual move to Alabama.

My 4x great-grandfather in the 1840 census. By comparing the tick marks with probate records, marriage records, and later census entries, we can identify the members of the household. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #FamilyResearch

Robert Scott in the 1830 Census The 1830 census for Robert Scott in Caswell County, North Carolina, recorded only his name and a series of tick marks. By cross-referencing marriage bonds, probate records, and later census entries, we can reconstruct the household behind those marks with surprising clarity.
