The 1880 census show: Household: Jessee BOST Self M Male W 78 NC Farmer NC NC Sarah P. BOST Wife M Female W 65 NC Keeping House NC NC Frances BOST Dau S Female W 21 NC At Home NC NC The census was taken in Catawba Co...is that where the house is? My Jesse Bost, which i don't have a spouse or children for, was said to have been born in Lincoln Co., NC in 1804 and died in Catawba Co., NC in 1892. He was the son/daughter of Elias Bost & Mary M Eichard. They could be one in the same, but i can't verify that. Do you have any idea if Jesse was still alive when he gave the property to M.E?
