Census Sunday: The Patrick family & Assorted Family



Amanda (Brown) Patrick was the daughter of my 4th great grandfather, Moses Brown, with his second wife, Nancy Perkins. Amanda married Samuel A. Patrick. Various books show them as being the parents of two daughters. However, it looks like they also had a son, James Patrick, shown in the 1850 census. There is also an assortment of other family members living with them.
