• 1840 US Federal Census, Hamilton Twp., Franklin Co. Ohio, ancestry.com pg. 13, no date. Line 17: John Delzell (sic) age 30-40, 1 male under age 5, 1 female age 20-30, 1 female (faint, possibly erased) under age 5.
  This county, which includes the city of Columbus, lies about 40 miles east of Miami Co. OH, where the family of John Dalzell lived in 1850. No John Dalzell is found in 1840 in Miami Co. This John Dalzell of Franklin Co. seems the closest match, if the 1 female under age 5 in indeed marked. If this is the correct family, then the son that died in infancy (per Margaret Dalzell Townsley) would have been born 1839-1840, depending on the writer's definition of "infancy".
