The 1850 census micro film record is hard to read . Basically
it says that in 1850 Lazerne County Census taken 11/7/1850 out of Pittston,
Pennsylvania. In Dwelling # 2587 family #2683 Axey Shotwell (Ackey Shotwell
misspelled) is listed as head of household 42 year old female born in Ireland.
Enumerated with Charles Shotwell age 15 male born Ireland, Phillip Shotwell
age 14 male born in Ireland, John Shotwell age 13 male born New Jersey
attending school, George Shotwell 11 male born New Jersey attending school,
Jacob Shotwell 8 Male born New Jersey attending school, Sarah Shotwell
5 female born Pennsylvania, Martha Shotwell 2 female born Pennsylvania.
It is believed that Joseph Shotwell is away in New Jersey at the time of
the census, he returns in the records of the 1860 census.

**There is a discrepancy between the 1850 & 1860 United states
census. In 1850 Ackey, Charles, and Phillip where listed as born
in Ireland, the 1860 census has Ackey born in New Jersey. After extensive
research of Naturalization and ship arrival records it is my belief that
Joseph, Ackey, Charles and Philip were all born in New Jersey. At
this time research is continuing.
