Shirley,
I, too, have wondered about the woman, Luthenia, recorded in the 1860 census with Hosea Alderman.......it is my opinion that the census taker made an error!In comparing dates and children's names, I have come to the conclusion that Susan Jane Heath, born 16 May 1835, daughter of Jacob Heath and Temperance Heath, was the 1st wife of Hosea.
There is a Bible record quoted on WorldConnect Project, saying that Hosea Alderman and Susan Jane Heath married on 12 November 1857.
Their first child was Annie Temperance Alderman, born about 1858.......Susan Jane's mother's name was Temperance!
I have looked at "Luthenia" in every way I could, wondering if I were reading it incorrectly, but, no, it is definitely written that way.The census taker just made an error, I firmly believe!
