A earlier blog post helped set up why the examination of the 1870 Ohio, Trumbull, Mesopotamia, United States Census and the 1850 Ohio, Portage, Nelson, Unites State Census; These two census contain two family's with parents listed as Calvin and Jennet Drown. However none of the children in each family match. That is not one child from one family is found in the other but the parents are the same. The leaves the question are the parents the same people in the two census.
There is a twenty year span in between the two family's and some would say that they are the same; that the children in the 1850 had moved out on there own and that the children in the 1870 census are the children who had been born within the last twenty years and were still living at home in 1870. Tho this idea is very possible it is not enough to prove that this is the case.
As researchers in the Genealogical fielded it is not enough just to assume these things. When doing research prof of these things is needed. In the next blog post direct evidence will be given as to how these two family's in the 1870 and 1850 census are related.
