New England Families

For year: censuses vary. Her death record says 1828. Her father Benjamin's 1840 census includes a female age 0 to 5; Rosanna is the only known female that age in that household. Best guess from all sources: April 1838. Location comes from death record in Veazie, daughter Martha's birth record in Newburg, and her son William's marriage record in 1908. Rosanna's father was living in Bangor in 1830 and Newburgh in 1840.

1840 Census Newburgh, Penobscot Co., Maine
Series M704, Roll 149, Page 179
Benjamin Inman
2 males 5 to 10 1 female 0 to 5
1 male 10 to 15 2 females 10 to 15
1 male 60 to 70 1 female 15 to 20
1 female 40 to 50 [?]

I am tentatively including Abigail (Ayers) Davis as the female 80 to 90 in this household. She was alive to make a will in 1843.
