what is an Enderd?

Lovely thought, William, but the word is only found in the transcription online, not on the actual page.

Hi,
   Even though the spelling is wrong,could someone have meant "Indentured". As in
referring to the person being bonded to the
owner or resident?

I think that's an excellent guess, and in another context might be right, but he is a boarder at school, so unlikely to be indentured in this instance.

I "Googled" the word "enderd. Here is one Quote on the word:
  "The necessity of water Baptism.
which does,however,believe in the necessity of Baptism,though I agree that if one died after choosing baptism,or is "Enderd",from Baptism, they can still...."
   So,in this context,has something to do with religion. I also saw a reference to the game,"Dungeons and Dragons",but don't think it would apply to your entry. Also,
I believe,even students who boarded at schools could be taken in as servants or bonded as future teachers to pay
their tuition.

Is this thread really a 'Pick the right definition' competition

AAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!    This is driving me up the wall!

Sorry to rain on everyone's parade, but if you read what Newfy and I wrote waaaaay up the page, you will see that the word enderd does not feature on the census page at all, only in the transcription done by Ancestry

The word has nothing to do with the person on the census!  It is some random thing added by an Ancestry transcriber, for reasons known only to them. 

THERE IS NO WORD "ENDERED" ON THIS CENSUS RETURN!!!  THEREFORE IT CAN'T MEAN ANYTHING!!! 

*takes deep breath*

...right.  I feel better now.  Please return to what you were doing.  Sorry to shout
