Jackson Kendig household original 1880 census

The original 1880 East Fallowfield Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania census, ED 70, image 623 of 779, household 138, lists Jackson Kendig, farmer, 52; Eliza J., wife, 49; Charlie, son, 13; Cora, daughter, 10; and John R., son, 8. All are recorded born Pennsylvania. This directly documents Cora as Jackson’s daughter and Eliza as his wife. Cora’s identification with the later Cora Kendig Scott remains supported by the existing chronology but still needs her marriage or death original to complete the cross-record link. The household also includes Mary A. Reese, 77, servant, retired; John Harrington, 50, servant, farm laborer; and Lou E. Shoemaker, 17, servant. No kinship is inferred for these three household members. The census does not name Jackson’s parents or give exact birth dates.
