Keep in mind: What the page is: the 1850 census schedule cited in the tree as: _TEXT The National Archives in Washington, DC; Record Group: Records of the Bureau of the Census; Record Group Number: 29; Series Number: M432; Residence Date: 1850; Home in 1850: Skowhegan, Somerset, Maine; Roll: 268; Page: 60a. The page was not transcribed line by line. So the lines for these people were not individually checked here. The 1850-1870 schedules have no relationship column, so no relationship is stated. The tree also links Francis, Daniel L. and Horace Amos (Ames) and another child to this page; they are not yet tree persons here, so they are not tagged. Whether these are our people: Likely, not Confirmed. The family tree attaches this page to Augustus Ames, Nathaniel Phineas Ames, Hannah E Dow as the household in question; the identification of each name on the page is as the tree has it.
