  • Thompson Overall Irwin and Rebecca Ann Carter appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1850 in Columbus Township, Bartholomew County, Indiana. Other members of the household included Marion Hamilton Irwin, Corinne O. H. Irwin and Flavius G. H. Irwin. Their two-year-old daughter Sarah Elizabeth was not enumerated in the household, likely resulting from confusion about listing her younger sister, who was born shortly after the official census date, but well before the census actually was taken in September. Adding to the confusion, Thompson Irwin died shortly after the official census date.
