• This family was listed twice in the 1880 census, by two different census
takers:
1880 Census for Stoney Creek, Henry County, Indiana (Roll: T9_284; Family History
Film: 1254284; Page: 2D; Enumeration District: 1; Image: 0007) shows J.D. Brewington,
age 53, a carpenter, as head of household containing: wife Kitturah, age 47;
daughter Flora A., age 24, a milliner; E.J. Merrit (unclear whether the surname
Brewington is supposed to be attached after Merrit), age 18, whose occupation
is listed as "Huckster"; Jaine W. Moore, age 55, male, whose relation
to the family and occupation is slightly unclear but looks like "Hustler"
in both cases; John W. Davis, age 38, a boarder whose occupation is listed as
boarder; and Dora E. Laub, age 14, a servant. I'm not at all sure what to make
of this listing... THEN, they are listed AGAIN some pages later like this:
1880 Census for Stoney Creek, Henry County, Indiana (Roll: T9_284; Family History
Film: 1254284; Page: 10C; Enumeration District: 1; Image: 0022) shows J.D. Brewington,

is listed as "Huckster"; J. W. Moore, age 55, male, a servant whose
occupation is listed as laborer; John W. Davis, age 38, a boarder, whose occupation
is listed as carpenter; and Dora E. Laub, age 14, a boarder with no listed occupation.
• 1910 Census for Licking Township, Blackford County, Indiana, taken Apr
10 1910, shows John D. Brewington, age 84, whose occupation is shown as "none
insane", as head of household including: Keturah, age 77, his wife of 60
years who has had five children with three still living; daughter Flora A., age
51, single, a saleslady at a department store; and Frank Siders, age 44, a widowed
boarder who works as a laborer in a glass works. Based on his age and the listing
under occupation, it sounds like Mr. Brewington may have been a victim of Alzheimer's
Disease. Keturah Bedwell and John D. Brewington were married on 1 Sep 1850
in Henry County, Indiana.146
