  William Strange  26 M Farmer Tennessee
  Mary Ann Strange  25 F Tennessee Cannot read or write
  James C Strange  8 M Tennessee
  John Strange  6 M Tennessee
  William A Strange  4 M Tennessee

  1860 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 8 June, PO NotStated, page 337 (scan 497), Hse #2385, Fam #2429
  Wm Strange 39 M Farmer $2000 Real Estate $1000 Personal Tennessee [abt1821]
  M A Strange 34 F b Tennessee [abt 1826] Cannot read or write
  Wm M Strange 12 M b Tennessee [abt 1848]
  
  Combining census reports gives us two children with the name William:
  William A, age 4 in 1850, apparently the same as William G, age 12 in1860.
  William G, first reported in 1870 as age 2, then again as William G in1880, age 10
  
  This seems odd, but we also find two children named James, also spacedclose to the beginning and the end of the births.  Lack of furtherdetails on either of these sets of names limits our understanding ofthis family.
