Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

FOLLOWUP

Thomas is being identified in this database as a child of Andrew Spear and Elizabeth Hinton because his age suggests he was born several years before the suspected marriage date of Andrew and his second wife, Susanna. However, the 1860 US Census notes that he was born in Philadelphia, not Ohio. There are many possible reasons; what is the actual reason? [census-us-1860-ps-oh-monroe-salem-138]
