A closer look at this page from the Orange County, New York US Federal Census of 1840, reveals that there are not one but two Wandells on this page. Count up six names from Thomas Wandell, the bottom name, and you find the entry for Richard Wandell. Both Richard, and the female living in his household are between the ages of 20 and 25 years old. Could Richard be the son of the Thomas Wandell also listed here? (There are 13 columns for male and 13 for females living in the household. The first is for males below the age of five. The next is for 5 to 10 years; the next is 10 to 15, etc. The thirteenth column for males is for those over 60 years, and likewise for the female columns).
