Increase Hinshaw [sic] household:
1 free white male age 40-50 (Increase).
1 free white female age 20-30 (presumably his wife).

Increase Henshaw household:

1 free white male age 50-60 (Increase).

Increase and family were again shown in the 1850 census, Diberry Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, as follows:2

Increase Henshaw, age 59 [sic], born in Connecticut [sic].
Parna Henshaw, age 47, born in Pennsylvania.

Inrease's wife's name is not known with certainty, but a History of Wayne County, Pennsylvania stated that his wife was most probably Hester Bishop, daughter of John & Mary Bishop.1  The 1850 shows his wife but the handwriting is somewhat ambiguous, appearing to be Parna or similar2 (perhaps a nickname?).
