Thanks Steve. The Mary Decker above Henry on that census sheet is his mother-in-law
and my 3g-grandmother.

It's been awhile, but I remember some folks were interested
in the Lushbaugh families in Berrien County.
Just found these on the 1840 census (Bertrand Twp, Berrien
Co, Michigan):
Henry Lushbaugh (1-2-0-0-0-0-1 and 1-0-2-0-0-1-0)
John Lushbaugh (0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1 and 0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-1)
Henry and John were listed on consecutive rows of the
census form (source: Ancestry on-line census images).
PS - The strings of numbers indicate how many free white
males and females of particular age-ranges were in the
household, include the named head of the house.
For example, the 1-2-0-0-0-1 above means ...
one male, under the age of 5;
two males, from 5 to under 10 years old;
no males, from 10 to under 15 years old;
no males, from 15 to under 20 years old;
no males, from 20 to under 30 years old;
no males, from 30 to under 40 years old;
one male, from 40 to under 50 years old (head of the
house).
These age-range categories can continue up to ...
# of males/females, from 90 to under 100 years old; and
# of males/females, from 100 years old and upwards.
