 CENSUS NOTES
-* Neither Martha nor Hiram appears in the 1870 or 1880 Ancerstry.com registry search, under any of the name variations.  Searching Muddy Creek Twp. for "Hiram" or "Martha" gave no likely variants, although there is a Martha Gallagher of the right age and with a daughter Mary in 1870.
+* 1850 census: Daniel Millison (b.~1800) & wife Margaret (b.~1807) are listed with 8 children, Hiram (b. 1830) the oldest, and Elmer (b. ~1847) youngest. Margaret would have been age 40 at the birth of Elmer.
-*  1860 census: David Millison & Susan Millison are listed next to Hiram Millison. The 1850 census was not found for them by the Ancestry.com search engine.
+*  1860 census: David Millison (b.~1800) & Susan Millison (b. ~1812) are listed as living next to Hiram Millison. The 1850 census was not found for David Millison by the Ancestry.com search engine. Daniel Millison & wife Margaret not found in 1860 census. As the birth year appears to be the same for Daniel and David, and as the last 3 children of Daniel in 1850 appear with correct ages in the 1860 household of "David", it appears that Daniel & David are the same person. Caniel's wife Margaret died before 1860, and  Susan (b. ~1812 per 1860 census) is not a 2nd wife, but Daniel's maiden sister Susannah (b. ~1909 per 1880 census).  Susannah is found in 1880 caring for a niece and nephew. The nephew Daniel Francis is said to be the son of Jacob Millison (Daniel's son, Hiram's brother). The niece Carrie could be a child of either Hiram Milhausen or his brother Jacob.
-* 1870 census: Daniel Millison as head of household appears to be housing his  son Elmer (a brother of Hiram); his granddaughter Mary E. Millison (daughter of Hiram); his sister Susanna (Hiram's aunt); Carrie,(born ~1864), who could be a sister of Mary Etta (i.e., a 2nd child of Hiram & Martha Jane Wilson Millison).
-* 1880 census: "Maiden" Aunt Susan is housing the child Carrie(born ~1864 and possibly a daughter of Hiram & Martha J. Millison), and a child Daniel (born ~1870, so would not have been a son of Martha Jane Wilson Milhausen who died 1867). He must be the child of another Millison family.  Carrie and Daniel are enumerated as "niece" and "nephew" but are in fact great-niece and great-nephew. Carrie may be a child of Hiram Millison, but could also be Daniel's sister and the child of one of Hiram's brothers.
+* 1870 census: Relationships to head of household are not given. Daniel Millison, head of household, is housing his son Elmer (a brother of Hiram per 1850 census); his granddaughter Mary E. Millison (daughter of Hiram per 1860 census); his sister Susanna (b. ~1813)(Hiram's aunt); Carrie,(born ~1864), who could be a child of Hiram & Martha Jane Wilson Millison, or of Jacob Millison.   Carrie is not likely a child of Daniel & wife Margaret; Margaret would have been age 57 at Carrie's birth. Also, Carrie is listed after Mary Etta, who is not a child of Daniel & Margaret, but of their son Hiram.
 MILITARY NOTES
 * Pension application, source 9, indicates that Martha applied for widow's pension in August 1864.  At her death, reapplication was made for James Millison, a minor child (not seen before in census records); the "Gdn." notation by his name possibly suggests that the application filed in his name by his guardian.<br>The record of this James Millison suggests the possibility that the child Daniel, age 10 in 1880 in his great-aunt Susan's home, is possibly this James.  Ancestry.com translates his name in this census as Daniel F; however the letter is possibly a "J", the crossbar rounding back and connecting to the vertical stroke.  His age is still problematic, born (1870) 3 years after Martha Jane's death (1867). In this family the ages do not seem to wobble from one census to the next; they appear to know their age. Daniel (James?) may be the exception, if he was born at his mother's death, and transferred to a maiden great-aunt's care.
