(NB--The Census Enumerator erroneously gave the name BEMUS to these famililies listed here. That Daniel, b. Littleton, NH and son of Henry Bemis, and Daniel's son Jotham would spell their name erroneously as "Bemus" would be
silly. There are enough "Bemus's" in NY that have already done exactly that--CEB)
