Person:Susan Stout (5)

Susan is found on the following 1870 and 1880 census records. They are put here to prove a census error in the 1870 record. The 1870 census for Susan has her being 7 years old. In 1880 she is married to Charles Bond and is 27 years old. The age at 7 years should have been 17 years tho even checking the image it is 7 years. Her 9 year old brother is not listed above her but is after her, again indicating to me that 17 would have been accurate.
