  10. [S765] Johann Heinr. Rodefels household, 1840 U.S. Census, Hamilton Co., Ohio, his name and the number and ages of the members strongly suggest this is his household. Since the official effective date of this census was 1 Jun 1840, they should not have been included since we believe they immigrated in Aug 1840. However, the 1840 census was supposed to be completed in nine months, but widespread delays required legislation to extend the interval to 18 months. These delays, and the likelihood that Charles Cist, the enumerator, did not speak German, make it likely that the family was included even though they arrived after the official date.
