Carey Lambertson - Butler Co, OH & Madison Co., IN

My maternal 3rd-great grandfather, Carey W. LAMBERTSON was enumerated in the 1870 census of Butler Co., OH, and the the 1910 census of Madison Co., IN. These two census records are bookends of his adult life.

In 1870, he was living in Madison Twp., Jacksonborough P.O., and his occupation was listed as a farm laborer. He was 24 years old, and his wife Clara was 22. Carey's father, John, aged 70, born in New Jersey was also living with the household.

In 1910, he and Clara were living alone in Pipecreek Twp., near Elwood. Clara was listed as the mother of 5 children, all of whom were living in 1910. Carey's occupation was listed as laborer and junk dealer. Clara's parents were listed as being born in Virginia, Carey's as being born in New Jersey.

His name was spelled Cary in 1870 and Carey in 1910. I prefer to use the Carey spelling.

William F. Kirk family - Gage Co., NE & Madison Co., IN

The William F. Kirk family was enumerated in the 1900 census of Gage Co., NE and in the 1910 census of Madison Co., IN. William was married to my 2nd-great grandaunt, Mary Wright.

William's occupation in 1900 was that of a farmer, but by 1910 he was working at the paper mill in Alexandria. William was born in Indiana with his father being from Kentucky and his mother from Virginia. William and Mary had been married for 20 years in the 1900 census, and their children were born in Nebraska, so that is where I should look for them in the 1880 census.

The names of the children were spelled in various ways : sometimes going by their middle names or reversing the order (i.e., Earl J. or Jessie E.)
