Person:Elizabeth Powell (82)

Elizabeth's daughters Mary E and Ida appear to have been enumerated twice. See below: 1880 Census, Dist 291, Queens, New York City-Greater, New York Inhabitants in North Hempstead, Queens Powell Jackson W M 76 head married NY NY NY Powell, Aletta W F 66 wife married NY NY NY Hicks, Mary E. W F 16 illegible* married NY NY NY (age looks like 46) Hicks, Ida W F 11 grandchild single at school NY NY NY Williams, Jackson W M 61 servant single works on farm NY NY NY Baldwin, Ercha W F 19 servant single servant NY NY NY

• (ancestry.com has this age to be 16. possibly the illegible word is grandchild. But for Mary E and Ida to be sisters is not logical with Mary being marked as married. Ah . . . The married indicator must be an error. I believe Mary & Ida have been counted twice; one with their mother and again at their grandmother's home!! See LDS record below:
