Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

FOLLOWUP

In the 1860 US Census, Sylvester was 7, and apparently born a year before his parents' marriage. Was he actually the child of a previous marriage for Jacob or Keziah? Were they religiously married before a civil one? Or was Sylvester actually born out of wedlock? [census-us-1860-ps-oh-washington-ludlow-twp-5]
