FATHER: John Inman...MOTHER: Pfaff..." 1850 U S CENSUS -- Indiana, Hamilton Co., Washington Twp., Westfield -- 1 June 1850 (official census day)---enumerated 27 August, 1850, (form) p. 24 > Name, Notes/Quotes, Spouse, Children, Birth, Residences, Variant Spellings --- "19 / 321 / 321 / John Inman / 47 / M / - / Shoe Maker / 300 / Virginia.../ - / - /.../ 19 // 20 / - / - / Sarah / 40 / F / - / - / - / North Carolina.../ - / - /.../ 20 // 21/ - / - / Jonathan / 19 / M / - / Wagon Maker / - / W[?] (North Carolina).../ - / - /.../ 21 // 22 / - / - / Eli T / 14 / M / - / - / - / (North Carolina).../ - / - /.../ 22 // 23 / - / - / Thomas / 10 / M / - / - / - / Indiana.../ sch / - /.../ 23 // 24 / - / - / Susanna / 40 / F / - / - / - / Virginia.../ - / cnr,cnw /.../ 24 // 25 / - / - / Samuel Pauff / 86 / M / - / Black Smith / - / Pennsylvania.../ - / - /.../ 25 // 26 / - / - / Christina / 76 / F / - / - / - / North Carolina.../ - / cnr,cnw /.../ 26" ...With the absence of retirement facilities in 1850 and the lack of desire of her sisters-in-law in the neighborhood to care for Samuel Pfaff and Christina, John Inman's home became a nursing home and gave us the closest look at either a birth or marriage certificate for Salome Pfaff that I think we will ever find. And then they had to spoil it for us with an incorrect rendition of her name. JDS
