I see where the formatting did not hold, when I posted the census. I had put little
"ditto" marks under the state born for each.
Darius b. PA
Jane b. PA
Sarah & Alexander both b. PA
from Thomas on through the rest of the children...shows born Indiana.
Since Alexander was 18 in 1850, likely born 1831/1832 & Thomas is 15 in 1850, likely
born 1834/1835. (The census was supposed to reflect what age they were by the beginning
of this census...which for this one was June 1st of 1850. Looks like they moved to
Indiana between 1831/1835. I checked the 1830 and there are quite a few Peden/Padon,
etc., but not a Darius, who would have been about 27 yrs old in 1830. By the way,
Ancestry's index spelling variations include:
Peden, Peeden, Peaden, Padon, Padin, Paden, Pdin, Payden, Patten, Patton, Peyton, Peton,
Pitton, etc.
