John R. and Sallie Savage household — Philadelphia census, June 3, 1880

Original 1880 U.S. census, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 15th Election Division, 23rd Ward, ED 474, roll 1182, written page 3 / stamped 192C, enumerated June 3, 1880, Orthodox Street, dwelling 28, family 31, lines 37–44. John R. Savage, 51, head; Sallie K., 51, wife; Jeannette, 23, daughter; Mahlon L., 20, son; Katie W., 16, daughter; John R. Jr., 11, son; Jane A., 78, mother; Virginia D., 53, sister. Identification of six existing profiles is correlated with the distinctive family group in the 1889 Keyser genealogy p. 132 and Mahlon’s 1929 death certificate naming John R. Savage and Sallie Keyser. The children’s relationships are to the head John; the census alone does not establish biological maternity. Only Mahlon’s maternal link is additionally corroborated by his death certificate. Sallie’s census age 51 differs slightly from the compiled May 1828 birth; preserve both. Ancestry indexes house number 108, but that number is written beside the preceding Clapp household and no house number appears on John Savage’s line; no exact number is asserted for this family. Date records residence, not move-in. Jane and Virginia are retained as observations without creating or merging profiles. Original image inspected October 14, 2026 and attached.
