Census lists William in 1850 and 1860 with wife and children. The 1880 census only lists William and Elvira, not any of the children. (Maybe thats the way they did that census) The 1860 census list sons, Silas and James as farmers too. They lived in the same household.��CENSUS YR: 1850 STATE or TERRITORY: IL COUNTY: Greene REEL NO: 108 PAGE NO: 289 ====================================================================== =================================================== LN HN FN LAST NAME FIRST NAME AGE SEX RACE OCCUP.

In the 1880 census it states LAB as an occupation instead of farmer. I noticed this on a lot of the older people in the census after being a farmer. Not sure what it is.
