 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 ….
