I was wondering if anyone would have any access to the 1820 Census Records for Bucks County PA? I'm looking for information on this household of a Henry Grow in Bucks County, Buckingham Township, page 295, and also if anyone knows what county this would be in today? Also, if anyone is going to the court house can you check to see if there is a will on this person and if so, who is mentioned in this will.

My GG-Grandfather was Benjamin Henry Grow born abt. 1812 he died 3/27/1894 in Mahoning Township, Carbon County, PA. He married a Susannah Becker who was born 1816 and died 10/7/1886 in Mahoning Township, Carbon County, Pa. In Benjamin's will he mentions and gives his entire estate to his sister Elizabeth Reamsnyder. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything on her either.

My problem has been trying to find Benjamin Grow's parents names. Also, trying to find the parentage of Susannah Becker.

In the 1830 Bucks County Census, it lists the following:
Grow, Abraham Richland Township page 222
Grow, George Springfield Twp page 236
Grow, Sarah Doylestown Twp page 085

However, in the 1840 Census my Benjamin Grow is listed as being in Northampton County

Grow, Benjamin Northampton Co. E Penn Twp page 151
Grow, William Northampton Co S. Easton Borough page 033

I know that Benjamin married Susannah Becker before 1839 because one of their children was born then
They had the following children:

William Grow b. abt. 1839
Henry Grow b. 8/16/1840
Samuel Grow b. 1844
Nathan Grow b. abt. 1846
Johnathan Grow b. 4/7/1850
Elizabeth Grow b. abt 1851
Reuben Morris Grow b. January 1853
Stephen Grow b. 7/12/1858

Any help anyone could give me would be very much appreciated.

Also, I am placing a ton of information on the website on Monday.
