  • [S1287] 1860 U.S. Census, Antoine Seymour household, Richland Twp., Whitley Co., Indiana, p. 854 (stamped), p. 172 (written), dwelling 1229, family 1234, NARA Series/Roll M653/307. From ancestry.com. The census entry for this household is somewhat misleading. Antoine Seymour (spelled Anthony Seamore) and his wife Abigail are listed as dwelling number 1229, family number 1234. Next, as dwelling number 1229, family number 1234, is Abigail's father Robert Hamilton followed by Anthony, Charles, E., B. F., and Clarra C., with ditto marks below "Hamilton" used for their surname. In reality, these last five are children of Antoine and Abigail, with the surname Seymour, not Hamilton. It's apparent that Robert Hamilton was living with his daughter Abigail's family, and should not have been listed with his own dwelling and family number.
