1810 Four Nichodemus census entries for Frederick County, Maryland have initials only: A, J, M, P. [20]

The names Philip, Frederick, and Valentine were used by the family of John Adam Nicodemus and Anna Guth Conrad [21] of Frederick County, Maryland, who had a son named Henry. Perhaps the families of Henry Nicodemus and Catherine Nicodemus+Frederick Raver are connected through them, rather than as children of John Adam Nicodemus+Maria Christine.
