That provides a time frame. The Holtzclaw genealogy simply lists his first wife's name (Florence Early) and his 2nd wife (Lula Nevins) - nothing more on Florence. There were 47 Early families in KY in 1870 (per census index). IF her family was in KY then, and you know nothing more about them, you would have to go through all 47 to find one with a Florence. No Earlys were in Garrard or Lincoln that year. And there's no guarantee that "EARLY" is the spelling used in the census for a given family.
