Census 30 Aug 1860 , Machias, Cattaraugus County, New York, USA [7] - There is some confusion about the line entries in this census. Daniel was still a young man, newly married, and named first in the household, implying that he was Head of Household. Yet, the entry for the value of the farm was recorded on the line for his father Elias. I am assuming that Elias was actually Head of Household. Included in the household with Elias (age 67), his wife Lydia Wellington (age 61), their son Daniel (age 21) and his wife Rebecca (age 20).
