1870 Federal Census record for Wash., D.C., 2nd Ward, pg. 220. Line 35-40 - Andrew J. Larner, 43, "Keeps House" (?); Mary L., 41, Teacher; Winfield S., 18, Clerk in Bookstore; Frank, 15, Page at Capitol; Robert 13, in school; and Mary, 11, in school. But no George W. (Walter's dad)! The household continues on the next census page, but only lists a "house servant," Ellen Okie, age 22, Female Mulatto. Since George W. was born in 1863 he should have been listed here at age 6 or 7, and possibly one or two other siblings. Ahh, genealogy - for every new answer, there's at least 2 new questions!... Oh yeah, this record lists Andrew's birth state as DC, not MD, as George had indicated on the 1920 Wenatchee, WA census...
