I’ll
continue the Dunlap discussion with the 1820 federal census enumeration for
Archibald and Elizabeth Dunlap’s family:

Surprisingly
I couldn’t find Archibald in the 1830 federal census. I read the complete
Augusta County census on Ancestry.com and Familysearch.org. The page numbers
were consecutive, so I don’t believe there are any missing pages. The
enumeration included the Northern District, Southern District and Staunton. The
sole problem I noted was the Staunton census didn’t include any surnames
beginning with the letter “A.”
I’ll
try substituting for the 1830 census with details I know about family members. Archibald
and Betsey’s home probably included the youngest child, William and the
unmarried children—Nancy, Robert, James and Martha. Daughter Margaret had
already married Jacob Spitler in 1824 while Elizabeth wed Phillip O. Palmer March
1827. Archibald Jr. married Margaret Minnick in August of 1830. I’m still
missing some unknown household members from the 1820 census who could be with
the Dunlap’s.
The
1810 and 1820 federal census enumerations were arranged by surnames (all D
surnames recorded on same page) making it impossible to identify who
Archibald’s neighbors were. However, the 1840 census was recorded as taken by
the census enumerator.

The
younger Archibald Dunlap appears on the 12th line.
Although
I don’t know if he fits into Archibald’s family, there’s a John Dunlap three
names below Archibald Jr. (on the 15th line).
No
probate papers or land deeds were recorded in Augusta County, Virginia for Archibald.

5 is the last in my series. I initiated the “Archibald Dunlap Research Log’
series to find and document 4th Great Grandfather’s parents and
children and I achieved that goal. Scotland’s People website led me to
Archibald’s parents and siblings. Before I began working on the family, I had
known some of Archibald and Betsey’s children. I’m glad to report I discovered
two more children to add to the Dunlap history.
