[1860 Census doesn't indicate Wm. has an occupation such as hired hand, or other relative who helped out on the farm, since relationships of individuals in a household aren't indicated in 1860 Census, but given that Wm. "attended school within the year" it might indicate a closer relationship, such as Allison's son... by first marriage ca. 1840??? Birth year for Wm. would be ca. 1841.]

Helen listed her birth month and year as 1855 [dot above the last 5, maybe enumerator was going to write over it?], and her age as 44.
The earliest census data for Helen indicates she was born in 1853, and her death certificate information [below] lists her date of birth as 19 Sep 1853, which would agree with most census data.
