Charles Timothy Dusenbury

Do not separate the profile of Charles Timothy Dusenbury into two people - Charles and Timothy. They are the same person. Please read this report carefully.

Charles Timothy Dusenbury AKA Timothy Charles Dusenbury, son of Samuel Dusenbury and Mary Drysdal Ellis Dusenbury, appears to have married twice:

• Jane Sellers Dusenbury - 1st wife
• Caroline Dusenbury - 2nd wife. (Married after Jane's death between 1858-1860)

Horry County Census shows Charles as "22" years old instead of 42 indicating census error. New wife Caroline is 22 and that is consistent in future census indicating that Jane has died.:

• Name Age
• Charles S Dusenbery 22*
• Caroline Dusenbery 22
• James E Dusenbery 13
• Rebecca Dusenbery 11
• Samuel Dusenbery 9
• Wm Dusenbery 7
• Joseph Dusenbery 5 In the 1870 census, Charles' age is "correct" and Caroline's age is the "incorrect" number. Susan Jacobs is a possible sister to Caroline, though the Jacobs name is not proven as a maiden name for Caroline. Son Joseph demonstrates the consistency of the family unit through two census groups.

I find no son in the census listed as "Charles T. Dusenbury. A study of the census data does not indicate that Charles and Timothy were two separate brothers. On the contrary, the ages of the children spanning the census years demonstrates consistency. SFG
