Amos and Levi Morehouse Families in 1840


Amos Morehouse completed his purchase of land in Tippecanoe County, Indiana from the government in 1834. In 1837 his wife Rhoda died and was buried in Hebron Cemetery, Tippecanoe County. In this 1840 U.S. Census I've found an Amos and Levi Moorehouse living next to each other in Warren County, Indiana, not in Tippecanoe County. Warren County is located just to the west of Tippecanoe County.

Levi Moorehouse: 1 male < 5, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 20-30
total 3 persons, 1 in agriculture
Amos Moorehouse: 1 male 5-10, 2 males 10-15, 1 male 50-60, 1 female 5-10, total 5 persons, 2 in agriculture, 1 in manufactures and trades, 2 white persons over 20 years of age who cannot read and write
