There are several places where this couple's 2 grandchildren, Nancy M. & Bryce, who are living with them are shown as their children. The census records definately indicate they are grandchildren. I believe, but I have no proof, they're the children of the couple's son, John b about 1864. I believe John died as he's not listed in future censuses that I can find. I just wanted to correct this erroneous information.
