  • Name Jemima Spencer 
    • In the 1820 Federal Census, Gemima Salsbury is living in Tiverton, RI, with the following in her household:
      5 M<10
      1 M 16-25
      1 M 26-44
      1 F 16-25
      1 F 26-44
      1 F 45+
      Total 10 individuals

      This appears to be two parents with 5 young boys, also a teen or young adult female and Gemima/Jemima.

      In the 1850 Federal Census, Jemima Salisbury is age 80 b RI, living in Palmyra, NY, with Joseph & Susan Eddy and family. Susan Eddy is "Susan Salsbury of Tiverton," supposedly d/o Samuel S. Salsbury & Catherine Cook. I haven't figured out exactly how Jemima is related; possibly Samuel is her son or nephew.
