    6. _____, Peter, 3, male, Illinois
    7. _____, Rebecca, 2, female, Illinois  
    • He must be the one called "John" in the census. All of the children's names are off in this census. Possibly used first names for census, when they went by middle names? Poor later transcription by census enumerator?
    Census 21 Jun 1870  Troy (post office), Township 3 Range 7, Madison County, Illinois, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [4
    1. Edward, F. [Edwards, Charles Frank], 36, male, white, farmer, real estate value $5000, personal $2000, Illinois

    A FindAGrave entry for Fred E. Edwards states that his parents were Charles Frank and Margaret Edwards, and that he had surviving brothers George and Joseph. It seems clear that this illegible census head is Charles Frank Edwards, probably listed here in poor handwriting with crossouts as "Edward, Frank."
