  1. Franklin, Miller, Missouri, in United States. 1900 U.S. Census Population Schedule. (National Archives Microfilm Publication T623).

    William Brockman, born Aug 1853 in Missouri, married 11 years
    wife: Sarah A Brockman, born Nov 1870 in MIssouri, married 11 years, mother of 3 children (all living)
    son: Willard M Brockman [should be Harbison], born Dec 1887 (age 12) in Missouri
    daughter: Ellen Brockman, born Jun 1880 (age 19) in Missouri
    son: William H Brockman, born Dec 1892 (age 8) in Missouri

    Given the order the children are listed and the fact that Sarah had 3 living children (and thus Ellen was likely hers), it seems likely that the transcriber made an error and Ellen's birth year should have been 1890. Her age appears to have been written as 9 originally, and changed to 19.

  2. Saline, Miller, Missouri, in United States. 1910 U.S. Census Population Schedule. (National Archives Microfilm Publication T624).

    William S Brockman, age 56, born in Missouri, married for 19 years (second marriage)
    wife: Sarah A Brockman, age 40, born in Missouri, married for 19 years (second marriage)
    daughter: Helen O Brockman, age 18, born in Missouri
    son: William H Brockman, age 16, born in Missouri
    step son: Willard Harbison, age 21, born in Missouri
    a nephew, 4 servants, 2 boarders

    The ages of the children are a bit understated compared to the 1900 census, but Helen appears to be the same person as Ellen in the 1900 census.
