  • Notes 
    • The 1860 census entry for Julia Laponden [sic] gives her age as 32, which would put her birth year as 1827 or 1828. The 1870 census gives age as 42, and the 1880 census reports her age as 52 which would indicate that she was born abt 1828.

      Julia's age at death was age 65 according to the official death record. That would indicate that her birth year was 1832 or 1833.
