Research

CJV: originally assumed Erastus and Erasmus were identical indivduals: all post 1840 data were for Erasmus, all prior for Erastus, but 1860 census for Erasmus's family was listed under Erastus. Both names are clearly given in various sources. But 1850 censuses represent 2 separate individuals
