Casper and Jacob Aten-1850 IL.
Hi everyone;
In the 1850 Cass Co,IL census,I find several Atens.The family of Casper Aten age 37 b.Ohio, wife and 3 children. next door is Jacob Aten age 52 b.MD. wife and 5 children. But,what is strange about this is Casper's wife was b.in KY,his daughter Harriet age 11 is b. in IL,his son Cyrus age 7 also IL.his son James F age 2 is also b.in IL. NOW..we get strange> Jacob Aten,who I presume is an older brother to Casper. He himself is listed as b. MD.his wife Margaret age 47 b. NJ. daughter Elmira age 22 b.OH. daughter Marietta age 17 b.OH. daughter Julia A age 15 b.OH.daughter Margaret E age 10 b. DE. son Wm.F age 8 b.DE.now..There are several other listed in his household,a Wm Coleman age34 b.DE. Charles McKee age 17 b.CT. Edward McKee age 15 ditto,Amelia McKee age 13 ditto,NOW next is no mistake,BENJAMIN C AUTEN (not Aten)age 42 b.NJ. also an Amos English age 20 b. NY. Does anyone have a clue to if these families are all one or not and who they descend from???? ~Puzzled by this one~?.This is the first time I have ever seen both Aten and Auten spellings of the name in the same household. THANKS...Mame
