E. aged 3 yrs. and a son, Charles, born in August, 1869 as aged 9/12.Elizabeth Beckwith was living alone in 1870.Possibly Richard R. is the Richard Beckwith aged 76 in 1870, a ship carpenter, born CT working for Samuel Todd in Philadelphia, PA.Ages in census records are often incorrect.Regards, Virgil Huntley
