S363 GREENVILLE, SC STROUD 1820 Joshua M-33 120 084 011401 23310
15 persons in household... Joshua and wife.. and 13 children.. 6/M 9/F

0 m. under 10................. 1810-1820
1 m. 10-16..................... 1804-1810...............Henry Thompson... abt 1805
1 m. 16-18...................... 1802-1804 (Males only) John F. Stroud....abt 1803
4 m. 16-26...................... 1794-1804........Chaney "Chain" ... 1794-1793 (2) unknown
0 m. 26-45.................... . 1775-1794
1 m. 45 & over................ Before 1775............ Joshua Stroud

Since the group age 16-18 is also included in group age 16-26 It appears that there
are two males unaccounted for


2 f. under 10 ............ 1810-1820......Mary "Polly" ..... abt 1816.. (1) unknown
3 f. 10-16.................... 1804-1810 (3) unknown
3 f. 16-26..................... 1794-1804 (3) unknown
1 f. 26-45..................... 1775-1794..............Wife.....Margaret abt 1772
0 f. 45 & over.............. Before 1775........

Since Mary is the only known female of Joshua..we know of for now... there are 7 females unaccounted
for.....So I am wondering if maybe.. Chaney is married and living at home...during this census..
and one of the females listed in the 16-26 age is Chaney's wife....
If not... then... Joshua and wife... were very busy having children... looks like maybe one ever year for a while there...
full range...... for children.... 1794-1820 below is only speculation.. A more detailed breakdown....
1794.....m. Chaney "Chain"(1) age 26
1795.....f. daughter..(1) age 25
1797.....m. son ......(2) age 23
1798.....f. daughter....(2) age 22
1799.....m. son........(3) age 21
1800....f. daughter (3) age 20
1803.....m. John F. (Jonathan F.)(4) age 17
1804.....f. daughter (4) age 16
1805....m. Henry Thompson (5) age 15
1808....f. daughter (5) age 12
1810....f. daughter (6) age 10
1812....f. daughter (7) age 8
1816.....f. Mary "Polly" (8) age 4
That would make Margaret 28 when Chaney was born and 44 when Mary was born.....(all speculation)

2m. 20-30 1800-1810 (not listed in 1820..so probably grandchildren)
1m. 60-70 1760-1770 Joshua probably ~1765-1770

2f. 15-20 1810-1815 ~ Mary b. 1815/1816 .......~dau b. 1812
1f. 20-30 1800-1810~ dau b. 1810........(dau b. 1808 probably married)
1f. 30-40 1790-1899~Possibly Nancy.. who could be the widow of one of Joshuas sons. and mother of the two boys born between 1800-1810???????
1f. 50-60 1770-1780 ~ Margaret "Peggy" b. 1772

Somewhere in a book on Female nicknames... I think I found where "Peggy" was a nickname for Margaret... just like "Polly" is the nickname for Mary..... and "Patsy" for Martha...and so on....
(The above is pure speculation Yvonne G. Bowman)
Chaney and John F.... living in Greenville County...Thompson and all other sons gone from the home.....
