His name was actually Wyand Pennebaker. The given name has been spelled and transcribed many ways and the surname has been abstracted 60 different ways. The census taker probably wrote the name in error. _____________________________________________________________ The enumeration districts are not listed for either the 1830 or 1840 Hickman County census. In 1830 the enumerator just filled in the state (Kentucky), and in 1840 he left the page headers blank, so I'm really not sure what the enumeration districts are. _____________________________________________________________ This is the 1840 Federal Census for Hickman County, Kentucky =========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Page Column(s) Row(s) Comment Transcriber's Notes =========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== 1.1 1, 309 46 Totals Row There are only 7 marks in this row but total was entered as 8 1.2 1, 309 48 Totals Row There are 4 marks in this row but total was entered as 3 1.3 1, 309 Totals Column (51) 15 5 corrected to a 2 1.4 1, 309 Totals Column (51) 16 6 corrected to a 7 1.5 1, 309 Totals Column (51) Totals Row Total is given as 253, which is 20 too many, but '233', the correct total, is written in underneath the row 1.6 1, 309 75-77 All Portions of the last 3 columns on the census image are unreadable because they are covered with tape. 2.1 2, 310 5 Totals Row There are 19 marks in this row but total was entered as 18 2.2 2, 310 6 Totals Row There are only 13 marks in this row but total was entered as 14 2.3 2, 310 Totals Column (51) 11 Row 11 actually totals 12, but is entered as 11.
