• 1870 US Census entry for Joseph Libby--for some unknown reason, the summary fails to list any family members. But, if you open the original document, you will find a list of children in the household, including Henry A and Clara, each 10 years older than in the 1860 record. Once again, Joseph Libby's name is misspelled. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M4F9-J9P?from=lynx1&treeref=L7PK-XVG
