1860 census of Carroll Co., Virginia, Wolf Glade P.O., p. 115, lists as family #750/755:
Largen, Aaron, 45, farmer; Rossey, 38; Barton, 13; John, 11; Isaac, 4/12; Louisa, 9.
Notes for Mary ("Polly") Quesenberry
Mary's first three children were born out of wedlock. The "Isaac Quesenberry Record" states that the father of the first, Theophilus, was a Ballard. John P. Alderman records that the father of the third, Nancy M., was assumed to be Aaron Largen, whom Mary later married (when he was 20 and she 30). He may have felt unable to marry an "older woman" until he was able to support her.
