There is a John Massey living in Lancaster County, SC in the 1820 census, there is one male under 10, and one between 26 and 45. There are also 2 females under 10, and one between 26 and 45. There is one person engaged in agriculture. Is the the same John Massey, or a different one, who is slightly older? His age needs to be verified. The John Massey mentioned in regard to this census was living close to other Massey family members. He is living between Benjamin and Joseph Massey, with a couple of families between each of them.

Census:
1840, No Twp listed, Lancaster, South Carolina, Series: M704 Roll: 512 Page 397
1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 40-50, one female 50-60, no free colored persons or slaves. There are two people engaged in agriculture. However, there is a total of 5 persons, which does not match the number listed. Is there something wrong with this census. The same problem has been seen with other schedules filled out on this census.
