Don’t forget on 1840 census enumerations to look at both the left hand page and the right hand page. The right hand page includes numbers of enslaved individuals, information on individuals engaged in various types of employment (categories only, no names), and names of Revolutionary War pensioners. There might be a big clue hiding on the right hand page of that census–don’t forget to look, grandpa might be living with the family.
