    1840

    I'll got Benner, Heckler, Long, Nace, and various other related and unrelated surnames on this record. So I created a separate 1840 Census hyperlink. It only covers three townships in Montgomery County so far; and the code is the same as the 1930 census code.

    Since they listed the surname here, I'm not sure this is a wife. This may be more of an old folks home situation.
