NOTE 1850: Due to the handwriting of the census taker, Thomas E. Donigan, the last name of "Whitlow" is incorrectly indexed as "Whitlon" on the 1850 Census records.
Elizabeth (Scott) Whitlow apparently died prior to 1860 as she was not enumerated in the household beyond the 1850 Census.
CENSUS 1860: Nicholas Whitlow, widower of Elizabeth Scott, found on the 1860 Census living in the Southwest District (S. W.) of Franklin County, Virginia. Census enumerated September 12, 1860, and is found on Page 145.

Nicholas Whitlow, Age 80, Male, Laborer, Personal Value: $20, Born VA
Harriet, Age 32, Female, Doms. (Domestic), Born VA
Julia, Age 28, Female, Born VA
Fanny, Age 16, Female, Born VA
Nancy, Age 14, Female, Born VA
Jno., Age 12, Male, Born VA
NOTE 1860: Nicholas went from being 54 years of age in 1850 to 80 in 1860. I highly doubt that the listed age for 1860 was correct. I also doubt that an 80 year old man would've been listed as a "Laborer".
Nicholas' wife, Elizabeth (Scott) Whitlow, apparently died at some point during the 1850s.
