are both
farmers living in Gwynedd Township. It states there were 12
people living in the Jones household at the time. It also shows
Sam Kriebel, age 55, and Sam Kriebel age 14,
father and son.
This Document from 1860 shows Amos Jones is now 66, his son 28. (Should we trust the accuracy
of the census taker? His son should have
been 32. Interestingly, the person between Amos Jones Sr and
Amos Jones Jr is listed as being 32). His farm is valued at $6000.
This document, from 1870 shows Amos Jones as a
"Retired Farmer", age 75. The farm is worth $10,000. At this
time Amos Jones the son would have been 42.
