I descend from the Drane or Drain families of Washington Co, KY. I believe you are mistaken concerning the 1820 census. There are:
George Drane - p32, line 3
Thos Drane - p33, line 5
Walter Drane - p33, line 8
Joel Drane - p33, line 9
Stephen Drane - p33, line 10
Joseph Drane - p68, line 21
William Drane - p68, line 22
I descend from William who is a son of Joseph. Later my family uses the spelling Drain not Drane.
In the 1820 census - the data is suppose to reflect a person as of 07 Aug 1820. But, considering 13 months were allowed to complete the census that year - there's not telling when someone was actually enumerated.
Contact me if you're interested in comparing notes.
