[APG Public List] Occupation question "Red Gentleman"

[LBoswell]

Actually I think you're absolutely right. It certainly could be read as retd 
gentleman, and he is 69 years old

  Lynita,

  Do you suppose it is the short form for "retired" gentleman? How old was 
he?

    I'm researching an ancestor in PA and the 1870 Federal Census Clinton 
County, Pennsylvania lists his occupation as "Red Gentleman"

    What, pray tell, was/is a "Red Gentleman"?

    Thank you very much!

    Lynita
