Frederick Mayo and Martha Bass must have married soon afte
r this census.
Frederick was 46 in 1820. Redmon, Stephen, and Jonas are th
ree of the four under ten. Reuben and Joel are the two 10-1
6 Three males I can't account for. 1 under 10 and two 19-26
. If we speculate that the youngest may have died the olde
r two could have been brothers of Frederick or nephew's, al
though he was old enough to have had sons in the 19-26 rang
e, he would have been young by the standards of the day whe
n men married in their late 20's and early 30's. I believ
e that the oldest two were not his sons. The female is Lydi
a as I believe Lucy was married at this time, her first kno
wn child was born in 1821. Lucy was probably the oldest dau
ghter, as Reuben was the oldest son.
