Research of Kevin Everingham, 2011

1850 CENSUS Falls Twp., Bucks Co, PA -- Major Everham 58,... Sarah 39,.. Elizabeth 12 b.NJ,.. Benjamin 9 b.NJ,.. Clayton 8 b.NJ,.. Aaron 6 b.PA,.. Margerretta 4 b.PA. from this CENSUS alone, it looks like the family moved to PA about 1844 (based on where the children's place of birth is noted.)

1860 CENSUS Falls Twp., Bucks Co, PA (Page 115, family 868)--- Aaron was listed as born in PA, age 16., living with the Lovette family, as farm labor; James 35, Emma 30, Owen 5,.. Charles 2,.. Cate 0,.. and Anna Potts 12,.. Catherine Harper 14. (all born in PA)
Aaron was also listed with his sister's family here;

I am not absolutely sure this is the right Aaron, but online transcriptions are wrong, the name is not Everon, and I believe this is Aaron & Laura Evernham. Also likely he named a son after his brother who died in the War.
