My ancestor, George Reese (born 1750), was living in Hemlock, Pennsylvania, in 1810. It seems likely that he was related to Daniel and/or Vaniah Rees, but where was he when the census was taken in 1800? Was he the George Reese counted on the 1800 census in Allen, Northampton County?
The following table shows census records pertaining to George Reese and his descendants in my line, starting in 1810. Note: The second column shows the town and county in Pennsylvania from 1810 to 1910 and in New York in 1930 and 1940.
