  6. [S585] Linah Mims household, 1830 U.S. Census, Christian Co., Kentucky, shows one male aged 5 to 10, and one aged 15 to 20.
  7. [S225] There are two unidentified young men in the 1820 census of Linah's household. One of the two shown as aged 10 to 16 is likely John, born in 1806, and the other either Addison or Davis. The one aged under 10 would then be the other of these two. In the 1830 census there is only one unidentified, aged 15 to 20 (the one aged 5 to 10 being likely Rufus, born 1821). The younger of the two unidentified in 1820 would have been, at most, 18 when Addison married in 1828, making it seem likely he was the elder. Further, there is only one unidentified in 1830, so I assume Addison, having married, was living elsewhere, perhaps with his wife's parents. Thus I conclude that the older one, born 1804-1810, is Addison, and the younger Davis. This is also consistent with Davis' later marriage date, in 1837.
