Shared note

The 1840 census for the Town of Lisbon, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin Territory, shows a female child under 5 years of age in the home of Thomas Ralph. This is in addition to a male age 30-40 [Thomas Sr.], a male 5-10 [William], a female 30-40 [first wife], and a female 10-15 [Elizabeth].

Since the 1838 census for the same place shows only 4 persons living in the Ralph household, it can be assumed that this girl was born after the 1838 census and before the 1840 census.

By the time of the 1850 census, Thomas has started a second family - still in the Town of Lisbon. This child does not show up in that census. Also in 1850, an Ann Ralph, possibly the first wife of Thomas, shows up in the census for the 1st Ward in Milwaukee, but this child is not with her, either.

When Thomas wrote his will in 1864 he specifically mentions his children from his first wife, Elizabeth and William, but does not mention this child. It may reasonably be assumed that this child had died before the will was written, and probably before the 1850 census.
