READ ON THE MANUSCRIPT 8 Sep 2026 (register K553; crops and method at ancestry/sources/willett-3403-census-1830-1840-2026-09-08/NOTES.md). Header anchored; a keyed control row (Ancestry's index for a neighbour) matched cell for cell. 'Simeon P. Willett': MALES 20-30: 1 · 50-60: 1; FEMALES 15-20: 2 · 40-50: 1. Fits Simeon (53), Julia (44) and Sarah (15) exactly; Ellen (25) absent. This ties the NAME to Pontotoc Co.; a census names no wife and no child, and F548's proofs do not rest on it.
