The census lists John Becker [sic, indexed as Becker but handwriting is Beeker] with a household as follows:
Home in 1840 (City, County, State): Tippecanoe , Indiana
Free White Persons - Males - 5 thru 9: 1
Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 14: 1
Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 1

Next door is son Leonard Beckers [sic, handwriting is Beeker] with this household:
Name:Leonard Beckers
Home in 1840 (City, County, State): Tippecanoe, Indiana
Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 1
Free White Persons - Females - 20 thru 29: 1
Persons Employed in Mining: 1
Free White Persons - 20 thru 49: 2
Total Free White Persons: 2.

2. Census in 1850 in , Tippecanoe, IN. ⁵ The 1850 census recorded Leonard Beeker (handwriting unclear so indexed as Leonard Becker), 35, farmer, living with wife Ann, 42; and daughter Dulcena, 9. Ann was born in Virginia and the others in Indiana. Leonard's land was valued at $3000.
A mystery is the three youngest children of Leonard and Anna - Norcemous, Manford, and Orlena - are not living with their parents, perhaps because Anna was having health issues? The children are found serveral pages earlier in this township in household 468 (Leonard is household 483) within the home of John Pulver, 25, and his wife Sarah, 27. Since both are born in New Jersey, they are unlikely to be relatives; otherwise we would expect Sarah to be Leonard's sister caring for his children?.

Anna married Leonard Beeker, son of John Beeker and Christina Young, on 13 Feb 1840 in Tippecanoe Township, Tippecanoe, IN.¹ (Leonard Beeker was born on 31 Dec 1814 in , Washington, IN,⁶ died on 7 Apr 1884 in Tippecanoe Township, Tippecanoe, IN ⁶ and was buried in Battle Ground: Pretty Prairie Cemetery, Tippecanoe, IN ⁶.)
