      * William and John are the only Ralston households in Hart Co with children under 10 years of age, however William is not found in Hart county after 1830, therefore eliminating him as father to George*

      1840 HART CO KY CENSUS pg 206
      RALSTON, John Males 1 5-10(?), 2 10-15 (George, ?), 1 30-40(John); Females 2 -5 (Eliza,Louise), 1 5-10 (Elizabeth), 2 15-20(Martha, ?), 1 30-40(Elizabeth)

      RALSTON, Matthew Males 1 -5, 2 5-10, 1 20-30; Females 2 -5, 1 5-10, 1 20-30
      *Both John & Matthew have sons the age of George. There are 0 Ralston families in Barren Co, KY, 1840 census, who have male children age 5-10. Only John Ralston of Hart Co, and Matthew Ralston of Barren Co have male children in the 10-15 age range - since George could be 9-11 in the 1840 census. Matthew is the only male living in the household of Anne Ralston in the 1830 Hart Co KY Census*
      *Is Matthew a younger brother of David and John, or a son of David? Based on marriage record, not a son*

      Mathew ROLSTON to Hannah ASHWORTH 6 Oct 1832 consent Anne Rolston, mother
      *Because Matthew married in 1832, and George was b.@1830, we are presuming George's father to be John based on this information and the proximity of their household's in 1850, until further research proves otherwise*
