*****
from Draper, p. 213 on Malinda Bemis- "dau. of Silas Bemis and ___ Spencer, d. Exeter, Wis., a widow, Jan. 11, 1872".................
"Malinda Bemis had sisters, Theodorah, who m. Amos Lockwood, Sarah and Rugy, half sister Olive. Her brothers were Silas, Daniel, Asahel, and a half brother, Ezekial"
************
from Don Bemus, August, 2003 (with .jpg of 1835 Cenus for Philadelphia, Jefferson County, New York)

"I got access to the 1835 NYS Jefferson County census through the LDS
Church. In going through the census this morning I was able to locate Asahel and
an Abel that I believe is likely Asahel's older brother. They were
both in the town/town ship of Philadelphia. Asahel appears on line 6
of page 6. It does appear that Asahel in fact had 14 children
(living) as was indicated on the Wisconsin Land Patent affidavit, 8
apparently with Betsey and 6 with Emeline H. (Harriet). The 1835
census shows 6 boys and 2 girls. If one accepts the idea that 2 older
sons left the household between 1835 and 1840 the family makeup is
identical to the Asel Bamans family in the 1840 census in Clayton, NY.
With the combination of established linkages and my circumstantial
linkages for Erastus and Martin I would have the boys being John
(b. 1819/1820), William (b. 1821), Erastus (b. 1824),
Silas J. (b. 1827), Jason (b. 1833), Martin (b. 1834/1835). The 2
girls I have no clue on yet. With the large gap between Silas J's birth and
Jason's birth I would guess that's probably where they fit. Additionally, I believe
that 1 of the 2 boys appearing in the 1820 NY/Saratoga/Charlton
(Galway) census apparently died young, prior to the 1835 census."
