I kept looking at the Sancasters that came up in the States when you carried out a seach in Ancestry.com and curiosity
eventually got the better of me and I paid my money.
I have looked at all the entries in the census' including the images and have not found one that I could definately say
is a Sancaster. Most are Lancasters and obvious miss transcriptions. I feel that the early entries are miss transcriptions
Just as in the UK records where Sancasters are entered in the indexes as Lancasters the same could be true in the US records.
The problem is that we have no definate information to work on and to work back from.
If there is anyone who has information about US Sancasters please let us know. You could leave a message on the Ancestry.com
Sancaster Message Board.
1840 United States Federal Census
Sancaster Search Results on Ancestry.com : I have looked at the Census Image and identified
that the L of Lancaster as been transcribed into the database as an S. In most cases this is obvious
by comparing an S from elsewhere on the same census sheet. Please note that this is a personal interpretation and you may
want to check for yourself.

It looks an S but is probably an L. It looks like Seancaster on the Image but it is most likely L with a flurish. |
