Caroline Ernsperger ^{3 4 5 6 7}

   Another name for Caroline was Caroline Ernsberger.^{1 2}

  Noted events in her life were:

• She has alternate birth date of 1824 and a birth location of Ohio.

⁸

• She appeared on the 1850 US Census in Ballville Township, Sandusky, OH on 8 August 1850. ⁸

(Living with parents.)

NOTE - If her birth date was 8 May 1830, then her age should have been 20 instead of 26. The digit "6" written on the form could possibly be interpreted as a "0" which would be the correct age. Also, if she actually were 26 years old, that would have meant an eight year gap to the next youngest child which seems excessive.

But Caroline was supposedly married to Aaron Beery in 1849 and by the time of this 1850 census, she had a 6 month old daughter. Maybe she was temporarily staying with her parents in August for this census enumeration and one month later in September was enumerated again as living with her husband and daughter.
