In this Census of 1910 it appears the Steven works the Farm while James is
retired. It seems that both children are single and living at home on the
farm. The age difference between the children is 10 years in this 1910
Census. In the 1880 Census it was 8 year difference. James is listed
as 62 in 1910. This is contrary to both the 1880 and 1885 Census. I
think the 1910 Census is in error as the Gloucester Census in 1851 indicates he
was 6 Yrs of age meaning he was born in 1845 or 1846. The 1880 and 1885
Census indicate about the same year of birth. Only the 1910 Census is out
by so much time as it indicates he was born in 1838. This same Census says
that Lewis is 34 meaning he was born in 1876. This is close to the 1877
date in the 1880 Census and the same year in the 1885 Census.
Note: Emma V. Hill was previously
married to Stephen Van Loon who drowned about a year after they were married.
This marriage was the second occasion that a
Blackwell married a
Van Loon. Henry Blackwell and Amanda Van Loon were the first to marry
between the families.
