NOTE: Thomas Scott is probably the father of Jessie H English. Families 66, 67 and 68 are all in dwelling 60. Family 66 is Thomas Scott, probably father of Jessie (Scott) English. Family 67 is William and Jessie English. Family 68, Lola George, might be a school teacher boarding with the family.

Also of interest is the name of the enumerator, Thos Scott. Might this be Jessie's father?


A further search of Center, O'Brien Co revealed the following:

JONES, Mary A, white, female, age 50, boarder, widow, house keeper, born England, father born England, mother born England

I noticed the close proximity of this Edgar J English to William E English. Also of note is the fact that Edgar is a brother to Mariett. This lead me to search the 1860New York census. I searched for William, Mariett and Edgar J. See 1860 NY census for Patrick English.
