Census Information concerning Margaret's Ancestors

1850 census records of Franconia Township show Christian Benner age 58 married to Sarah age 55. Christian's profession is listed as a Farmer. Isaac age 21 is a Carpenter and Tobias age 19 is a Labourer. Mary Benner age 60 and Catharine age 57 are both living in the home as well. I believe these to be Christian's sister although the ages are a few years younger than my records.

1870 census records of Franconia Township show Tobias Benner age 38 as a Farmer with wife Mary age 34. Nathaniel age 13, Catharine age 10, Samuel age 7, and Josiah age 1 are shown as children. Isaac Benner is the next entry (neighbor) who I assume is Tobias's older brother, age 40. His wife is Sarah age 37, and children are listed as Esther 11, Isaac 7, Sarah Ann 4, and William 2.
