1860 United States Federal Census

I went and had a hunt for Charles Hermance 1829 ~ 1864 in the 1860 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I found several individuals of interest as you can see below.

1840 United States Federal Census

I also went and had a look in the 1840 United States Federal Census. Now the Charles Hermance that we are looking for was only a child in 1840 and would not be named on the census. One of the men listed below may be his father as this is a list of all the Hermances I could find. It is interesting to note that they all live in New York State.
