Two Census Part 3

In order to understand this blog post a reader will need to read all past blog post to understand the methodology of this research posses. Clark E. Drowns obituary said he was the last living of a family of ten; that he moved to Nevada with a brother Calvin. He was married in North Dakota in 1882, the witnesses to his marriage were H. G. Wright and Nettie Wright. In the 1870 census his younger brother is Charles drown. All these things come together to prove that these two family's in the two different census are indeed the one family. 
First Clark's marriage in 1882 with witnesses H.G. Wright and Nettie Wright. In the 1850 Census there is a child named Samantha Antoinette Drown. Samantha marred a Henry Gilbert Wright on the 24 of September 1868. Some of there children are recorded as being born in North Dakota. this puts them in the right spot to be witnesses at Clarks wedding. Also when following them through there life in the census. in the 1880 Census they Henry and Nettie are married living together and living with them is a Charles Drown who is a brother in law living with them; Charles is the younger brother of Clark in the 1870 census.  
Second if you find Charles in the 1880-1930 censuses he is live with family members found in bolt the 1850 and 1870 census. 
Third Clark moved to Nevada with a brother Calvin. The youngest child in the 1850 census is a Calvin A. Drown.
Fourth the second oldest sibling in the 1850 census also moves to Nevada and lives in South Fork near Clark.
Last if you follow all the children in the two census to there death Clark out lives all of them. 
All these things are strong evidence showing that these two family's are one family. it is research such as this that makes for strong connections in linking family's together and making sure that is accurate and correct. 
one more thing that need to be addressed. When totaling up the children in both census you get a total of nine children. Clarks obituary said he was the last of ten. because we have proven the two family's are one we see this is referring to children. So the question now is what of the missing child? In the next blog post this last will be reviled.
