The state is all they list on the census (besides their current location, or if a foreign country). The 1880 census also has parents' birthplace, and in her case they are also both listed as Ohio. Kind of unusual at this time to head back east to eastern Pennsylvania. Scott Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
