Census: William Moulden (1850)

Census: William Moulden (1850)

This is the first census following Moulden's purchase of property in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. At this time, William and Julia had four children between the ages of seven and one. The Mouldens' youngest child, who census enumerator George Curwen names here as "Burnett," is usually named Bernard. He died less than a month after the census was taken.

Also, a Black woman named Catherine Harris and a young girl named Mary Ellen Harris were boarding with the Mouldens.
