1 1850 US Census (District 37, Whiteside County, Illinois). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists Abram Shultz (age 34, b. PA), wife Susanna (age 37, b. PA) and children Issac (age 11, b. PA), Mary A. (age 9, b. PA), Albina (age 8, b. PA), Elizabeth (age 5, b. PA), Henry (age 3, b. PA) and Abram (age 6 mos, b. PA), living in Whiteside County, Illinois. Abram is listed as a "laborer." As their youngest child was born only 6 months earlier in Pennsylvania, one can assume that the family left Pennsylvania and settled in Whiteside County, Illinois sometime between April 1850 and September 1850, when this census was ennumerated.
