1850 & 1860 Federal Census's For Muskingum County
1). NOTE: In the 1850 Census for Ohio, Henry and his wife Mary wereboth listed as being born in Pennsylvania, but in the 1860 census theentire family is listed as from Ohio. In Elizabeth's obituary thereis no indication as to parents nativity or names. Only her brotherHenry is mentioned as surviving her as well as some of her children.It is likely that Henry Jr. & Mary were both from Pennsylvaniaoriginally, and the children were born in Ohio. Having said that, itwould seem that Catharine is listed as their oldest being born in Ohioin the year 1827/28. This would put Henry Jr. & Mary in Ohio justprior to 1827/28 probably.
2). NOTE: According to both of the federal census year of 1860, HenryJr. Gay was "renting". There is no indication that he owned land inthe census. There is a land purchase: PROP: 8 NOV 1853 Land documentshowing the purchase of land in Muskingum Co. by Henry Gay from JonGibbons sourced by K. Richardson however. If Henry Sr. lived to be109 years old, it may be possible that the land was actually purchasedby him also. This is not verifiable one way or the other at present.
3). NOTE: Another thing that is noted is that Mary's age didn'tchange from the 1850 to the 1860 census, and that Henry is listed witha different age than you would expect, BUT the children's ages are aswould be expected.
Example:
Henry Sr.'s age in the 1850 census was 66; in the 1860 census he waslisted as 80, not as 76.
Mary's age in the 1850 census was 45; in the 1860 census she waslisted as 45, not as 55.
Yet the children's ages were appropriate in 1860 with the added 10years for the census.

"Name: Henry Gay , Jr.
Sex: M
Birth: ABT 1791 in Frederick Co., MD 1
Death: 11 DEC 1872 in Muskingum Co., OH 2
Note: In the 1850 census, Henry declares PA as state of birth. Thismay be true since his father lived near the MD/PA state line and moveda number of times. Since Henry's age is listed in the census as age 66(wife 45) we can estimate his birth year as about 1784.Henry is listedin Salt Creek Township, Muskingum County, Ohio census of 1860 and BlueRock Township, Muskingum County, Ohio census of 1870."
