NOTE: I found an interesting scrap of paper in the Auckerman-Robbins Family Bible. On this scrap of paper (taken from “Periodical #28 of the _____”, apparently a religious association magazine) is a series of names and numbers, as follows:
Mary 52 Sarey 52 (___*) 52 16 18 28 36 34 14
*No name, but corresponds with Jacob.
The first number appears to be the year a scrap of paper was written on, 1852. The next subtracted number appears to be each individual’s year of birth. And the third number would be the answer after subtracting, being the age of each individual in 1852.
Also written on the paper is the following list of names and numbers:
Rebecca 19
Hannah 22
Julian 24
Elizabeth 26
Mary 36
Sarey 34
These numbers correspond with each individual’s age in 1852. But why was this incomplete Auckerman census taken? 1852 must have been a special or important year, but what happened? Could this be the date of the Bible? I had first thought that it might be John Auckerman Sr.’s death date, but he was still living in 1870.
A mystery ….
