John Greenwich with 1-1-0-0-0-0--1-1-0-0-0-0. Male under 10: ??, a son older than son John b. 1831, Male 10-23: John himself at 23, Female under 10: ?? a daughter older than son John b. 1831
On same page with Sarah Greenwich (four lines away) who has mixed white and free colored household

John Greenage with 3-1-1-0-0-0-1-3-0-1-0-0. Males under 10 - John and Samuel plus ?? a son that died before 1850?, Male 10-23: the older son from the 1830 census Male 24-35: John, age 33, Female under 10: Melissa, Females 10-23: the older daughter from 1830 census plus two others ??, all too young to be the wife who was mother of 9 yr old John, Female 36-54: must be the wife, shown here a couple of years older than John; however, if 36 in 1840, she could hardly be in the 10-23 group in 1830. Possible age error by census taker.

John Greenage [Greenidge in index] 43 M M farmer, John 19 M M, Melissa 18 F M, Samuel 11 M M, Abigail 8 F M

John Greenage [Greenago in index] 54 M M farmer b. MD, Samuel 22 M M laborer b. DE, Abigail 19 F M b. DE, Malvina 13 F M b. DE [Who is this? Where was she in 1850? James Greenich in NJ had a daughter by the same name about 10 years later.]

William Jameson 57 M W farmer b. DE, Melissa [Greenage] 37 F W b. DE, Josiah 14 M W b. DE, Franklin 7 M W b. NJ, Grinage John 63 M W b. DE - apparently father-in-law of William and father of Melissa
