Note: 870 Northampton County, Pennsylvania census.
On the 1910 and 1920 Hudson County, New Jersey censuses Saletha Ludwig is living as a widow with daughter Minnie. On the 1910 census Minnie's age would put her birthdate at 1864, very close to Amanda's, and Minnie could actually be a nickname for Amanda. The 1920 census gives the birthdate for Minnie as 1868, but as there are other errors on this census listing for the family, this may be incorrect. Without further research it is impossible to tell whether Amanda and Minnie are the same person or two separate daughters. Dec 2012
Subsequent to the note above, the reasoning for connecting Amanda Ludwig with Arminette Cassady and Minnie Ludwig was clarified by distant cousin Warren Ludwig in an e mail Nov, 2013:
1.) Connecting Amanda Ludwig (daughter of William) to Arminette Cassady: The 1900, 1910, 1920 & 1930 censuses list the mother residing in the home as Saletha Ludwig (the name is mispelled on a couple of the censuses but its the same mother). So I couldn't believe that there would be two Saletha/Seletha Ludwigs that were the same age and born in Pa running around. That's got to be a pretty rare first name - I never heard it before. Now, on the 1900 Census, the daughter is listed as Arminette. On the 1870 census she is listed as Amanda. On all the others she listed as Minnie. I'm sure Minnie is a nickname, but I don't know is Arminette and Amanda are first and middle names or vise versa or if Amanda was just a mistake made by the 1870 census taker. I don't know that part of it.
For information on Arminette's marriage to Thomas Cassady see the notes under Thomas Cassady.
