Notes for Jotham S. Bemis:
[Received from Curtis Bemis Jr.]

1850 US Census, Conewango, Cattaraugus County, NY; p. 82, lines 9-24
(NB--The Census Enumerator erroneously gave the name BEMUS to these families listed here. That Daniel, b. Littleton, NH and son of Henry Bemis, and Daniel's son Jotham would spell their name erroneously as "Bemus" would be
silly. There are enough "Bemus's" in NY that have already done exactly that--CEB)
