* The 1860 Census ages are incorrect. Ezra Ward's age on 29 Jun 1860 should be (51). All ages in the Age Column need to be shifted down one row. The ages should then be: Ezra (51); Mehetable (38); Martha (18); Thomas (16); Milton (13); John (10); William (8 vs. 7); and Ezra the child (6). Also, The first Elizabeth Duncan is actually Elizabeth Ellen "Bettie" Ward, and her age should be (1). Then Mary Duncan should be (8); the 2nd Elizabeth Duncan should be (5); and W. H. Givens should probably be (23) based upon shifting the ages down one row for everyone else.
