This may corresponds to the Moses McCandless household, but with several variance problems. One male <10 : William age 1. Two males 16-26:possibly sons unknown to us at this time. Two males 26-44: Moses and unknown male, possibly a brother. One female <10: Hannah age 8. (Jane "Jennie" age 10, is not accounted for by the census, possibly living elsewhere as servant girl). Two females 16-26: Jane Hockenberry, age unknown, and possibly a sister of Moses McCandless. One female >44, possibly one of the widowed mothers (ie. Jane unknown McCandless, or Hannah Kelly Hockenberry). Jane "Jennie" McCandless would be ~age 10, per the 1850 census for her.

  • When pages are developed for the children, Mary "Polly" McCandless should be traced to NY, where she apparently moved with her husband, George Mackey. They returned by 1870 since they and son Charles Mackey are living in Franklin Twp, Butler Co, PA in that census, but Charles is born in NY.
  • need additional census, will, church records, date of death, gravesite.
