I'm trying to find out about both of the women who lived next door to one another in this census. Nancy's age would be have been 26-44 and Jane's 16-25. I suspect they are related to one another. Does anyone know?

Let me explain why I think this: My alleged gggggrandfather, Elijah Howell (b. 1764-1850), married a Nancy FORD in 1791 in Buckingham Co. Rev. Rene Chastain married them and many others in the community, including MAXEYS, FORDS, BONDURANTS, etc. Elijah ultimately turns up in Burke Co. NC before heading on to Knoxville Co. TN about 1813 and marries Jude MAXEY. Her family also originated in Buckingham, as you may know. So....what happened to NANCY FORD? We assumed she died, leaving Elijah one young son. (Burke Co. 1800 census) We again assumed this young son was Duke Howell, our ggggrandfather. (strong evidence, but no proof that Elijah and Duke are father & son OR that Nancy died.) We never have discovered Nancy Ford's parentage, but there have always been rampant family rumors about Duke being (part) native American. In the very comprehensive FORD/ FAURE
interactive Family Tree hosted by Rootsweb, the 1810 Nancy FORD simply is not mentioned. This is so curious, since she had several children in the household. There are other Nancys but none are the right age.

Note: A William MAXEY lives next door to Jane. There is a William MAXEY that was born in 1767 who was related to the FORDS and BONDURANTS...all families that migrated to Knox Co. TN as did my Howells. Hmmm.
