Source notes

• 1870 Census Brady Twp. Butler Co. PA, family of Hugh Grossman: Louisa Grossman, approx. age 11, is not enumerated with the family. It appears to be an oversight, as she has not been found (using ancestry.com indexing) elsewhere in the census, and was not married until about 1876. Probably the two ten year olds, Richard and Aldra, were twins although the census doesn't note that they were.
