My Rhome family has its origins in Greene County, PA.
My great great grandfather is enumerated in the 1850
Census in Franklin Township as Henry Rom, age 27.
Cited with him are Mary, age 24, William, age 6, Jonas E.,
age 5, Jacob, age 3, Melissa J., age 1, and MarY Hanna, age
71. In the 1860 Census for Aleppo Township, he is enumerated
alongside a Jacob Rum, age 67, who I believe may be his father.
My great grandfather, Henry Harrison, was born ca. 1860 and
appears in the 1870 Census as a 9 year old. His son Melvin,
b ca. 1880 is my grandfather. There are many questions, but I'll
start with this one. In the 1860 Census, Jacob is listed with an
Eliza,age 45, and 2 children, William, age 6 and Delila,
no age cited. Is Eliza, Jacob's wife or a daughter?? Any
information on this family would be useful.
