      (2) A household headed by Martin DOWNEY is listed in the 1820 census of Warren County, KY, near households headed by Abraham DOWNEY, Sr. and Abraham DOWNEY, Jr.

      Listed in Martin's household are 1 free white male under 10 years of age; 1 free white male between 26 and 45 years of age; and 1 free white female between 16 and 26 years of age.

      Assuming that Martin is the free white male listed in the 1820 census as then being between 26 and 45 years of age, he would have been born between about 1775 and 1794, according to the 1820 census.

      Assuming that Martin's wife is the free white female listed in the 1820 census as then being between 16 and 26 years of age, she would have been born between 1794 and 1804, according to the 1820 census.

      Assuming that the other person in Martin's household is a child of Martin and/or his wife, that child would have consisted of one son who would have been born between 1810 and 1820, according to the 1820 census.

      (3) A household headed by Martin DOWNEY is listed in the 1830 census of Warren County, KY.

      Listed in Martin's household are 2 free white males under 5 years of age; 1 free white male between 5 and 10 years of age; 1 free white male between 10 and 15 years of age; 1 free white male between 30 and 40 years of age; 1 free white male between 70 and 80 years of age; 1 free white female under 5 years of age; 1 free white female between 5 and 10 years of age; 1 free white female between 20 and 30 years of age; and 1 free white female between 30 and 40 years of age.

      The free white male listed in the 1830 census as then being between 70 and 80 years of age seems to have then been too old to have been Martin. That free white male might have been Abraham DOWNEY, Sr.

      Assuming that Martin is the free white male listed in the 1830 census as then being between 30 and 40 years of age, he would have been born between 1790 and 1800, according to the 1830 census.

      Assuming that Martin's wife is the free white female listed in the 1830 census as then being between 30 and 40 years of age, she would have been born between 1790 and 1800, according to the 1830 census.

      Assuming that the other persons in Martin's household are children of Martin and/or his wife, those children would have consisted of four sons (one of which sons would have been form between 1815 and 1820, one of which sons would have been born between 1820 and 1825, and two of which sons would have been born between 1825 and 1830, according to the 1830 census) and three daughters (one of which daughters would have been born between 1800 and 1810, one of which daughters would have been born between 1815 and 1825, and one of which daughters would have been born between 1825 and 1830, according to the 1830 census).

      (4) A household headed by Martin DOWNEY is listed in the 1840 census of Warren County, KY.

      Listed in Martin's household are 1 free white male under 5 years of age; 1 free white male between 5 and 10 years of age; 1 free white male between 10 and 15 years of age; 2 free white males between 15 and 20 years of age; 1 free white male between 20 and 30 years of age; 1 free white male between 40 and 50 years of age; 1 free white female between 5 and 10 years of age; 1 free white female between 10 and 15 years of age; 1 free white female between 20 and 30 years of age; and 1 free white female between 40 and 50 years of age.

      Assuming that Martin is the free white male listed in the 1840 census as then being between 40 and 50 years of age, he would have been born between 1790 and 1800, according to the 1840 census.

      Assuming that Martin's wife is the free white female listed in the 1840 census as then being between 40 and 50 years of age, she would have been born between 1790 and 1800, according to the 1840 census.
