PLAME, ADAM (1860 U.S. Census)
MINNESOTA , STEARNS, ST CLOUD P O
Age: 32, Male, Race: WHITE, Born: PRUS
Series: M653 Roll: 574 Page: 960
The index uses an incorrect spelling of "Plame". See the image of the census to judge for yourself. The spelling in the records in the US varies from Plein, Plane, Plain, Plaine.
Dwelling #1248 Family # 1041
* Adam Plame, age 32, male, personal estate $300, born Prussia
* Anna Plame, age 30, female, born Prussia
* Susannah Plame, age 6, female, born Prussia
* Mary Plame, age 2, female, born Minnesota
* Clemence Whitling, age 32, male, laborer, ($500/$200??), born Prussia
This 1860 census gives an age of 6 for Susannah born Prussia and an age of 2 for Mary born Minnesota. That would give a time frame of immigration between approximately 1854 and 1858.
Also interesting to note is the last member of this household, Clemence Whitling. Mary had a brother, Klemens Watle (Germany records). Documents in the US usually record him as Clement or Clemens. (See The Clement Wetle Family Blog). The 1870 MN census records him as Wedeley, Clement, age 33. Could this Clemence Whitling possibly be Anna's brother (allowing for errors that are common in the census)? Or who might this person be that is living with Adam and Anna.
