  Gender	Male
  Census	1850	Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [1]
  	(parents implied) [This entry in the household of Joseph Carman at first appears to have an age of "17," and would therefore have been too old to be their son -- but it is ambiguous. It appears that the "1" in the "17" may have been altered, and the occupation column has the "do" crossed-out suggesting that he was actually less than 15 years old. I believe that Edward is actually a son, age 7.]
