Settlement Deed Article posted on Ancestry's Blog

Those who follow my column in Ancestry's blog know that several articles have been posted on pre-1850 census records. This week the followup was posted where the census records are analyzed in light of the settlement deed closing out the estate. That document confirms most of the conclusions from the census and builds upon them.

Those who want to view the article can do so on Ancestry's blog (at no charge).
