Have another request: Does anyone know where I might find anything concerning their deaths? They supposedly died shortly after they took this census, leaving their two children as orphans (John Wiley and Mary "Mollie" Jane). Thereafter, they were supposedly raised by their grandparents, but I can't find them either. Was there a flu epidemic shortly after 1870 in Jackson County...or...? Thanks, Peggy Harmon
