Only four of the six sons of James Frame and Susannah Bradshaw who have been identified by other researchers are enumerated in this census and only one of two daughters. Five sons (Jeremiah, John, Thomas, James, and Silas) were enumerated as adjacent families in the 1850 enumeration in Argyle Township, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. The 1850 enumeration indicates that two of these sons (Jeremiah and James) married women who were born in Illinois, tending to validate this James Frame family as the same one that previously lived in Preble County, Ohio, relocated to Vermilion County, Illinois, and then to Lafayette County, Wisconsin.
