The U.S. Census of 1880 for Richland, Ozark, Missouri, shows my gggrandfather Obediah (Obedien) Johnston, age 57, his wife Florilla (Floreala), age 44, their children William C. age 19, b AR, Nancy A. age 14, b IL, Mary L. age 11, b IL, Phoeba E. age 7, b MO, Louvina C. age 5, b MO, Cintha A. age 10 mo., b MO. The spelling of names of the three last children are suspect. Obediah was born 1823 in KY, migrated to Massac Co. IL abt. 1840, married Nancy Homer in 1841. The last of their four children was born in 1858 and Nancy died sometime after 1860. Obediah married Florilla Williams in Massac Co., IL in 1868. I believe that she was a widow at the time of their marriage and that the two oldest children (William & Nancy) are from her first marriage. I will deeply appreciate any information on this family and most certainly would like to establish contact with any descendant. Thanks Barney Frothingham
