William Thomas Mansfield

READ FROM THE CENSUS IMAGE BY CLAUDE in Owen's signed-in Chrome, 1 Aug 2026 (not from the index — see the two index errors this caught). Ancestry coll. 8054 rec. 4011246. NARA RG29 M432 Roll 411 p. 201b, line 35, dwelling/family 80. Image 4200571_00411, 12 of 31. William H Mansfield 60 BAPTIST CLERGYMAN real estate $4,000 b. Va Selina 50 b. Va Albert 30 (Farmer) · William S 25 · Nancy M 19 · Elizabeth 17 · Joseph A 13 · Susan S 11 ⭐ MATCHES THE TREE on name, MIDDLE INITIAL and age: Selina 50 = [893] SALINA Eddings b.1799 · Albert 30 = [895] Albert Galletin b.1819 · Nancy M 19 = [900] Nancy MILDRED b.1831 · Elizabeth 17 = [901] Elizabeth MOURNING b.1833 · Joseph A 13 = [902] Joseph ALLEN b.1837 · Susan S 11 = [904] Susan SALINA b.1839. Four of six match on the middle initial itself. ⚠️ THE ONE CONFLICT THE IMAGE DID NOT RESOLVE: 'William S' 25 against the tree's [898] William THOMAS b.1825. The age is exact; the initial is not. The other two initial conflicts in this run resolved in the tree's favour on the image — THIS ONE DID NOT, and it must not be silently assimilated to them. Linked; unexplained. ⭐⭐ NEW, AND THE INDEX COULD NOT HAVE GIVEN IT: his OCCUPATION is BAPTIST CLERGYMAN, with $4,000 in real estate. Neither is in the tree. ⭐ THE MIGRATION FLIP: the birthplace column reads Va for the parents and changes to 'Mo.' at Elizabeth (17, b. c.1833). ⛔ STATE THE LIMIT — the entries above her line are DITTO MARKS whose referent is inferred from the parents' 'Va'. The FLIP is legible; the bracket above it is a reading of dittos. A Virginia->Missouri move c.1831-33 is INDICATED, NOT WRITTEN. Re-read at higher zoom before this drives a fact.
