Subject: 1820 Census
I knew my 3-great-grandfather, Alpheus HARMON, had to be in Erie County, Pennsylvania in 1820, but he just wasn't listed on the census although his brothers were.
I decided to go through the census one more time name by name and say each name aloud. I came to one entry Elfyus ARMAN and although my eye wanted to skip over it, saying the name aloud made ALL the difference!
There he was -- just a few doors away from his brother and of his future wife's father, Charles VAUN. No wonder I could not find him in the index! Yet, he was exactly where I knew he had to be!
