Not able to find them in 1880 yet. Here is what the 1870 Census reads: Smith Wilson J, age 46, b. Pennsylvania -Farmer Smith Henrietta J., age 29, b. Illinois Smith Rosenna J. age 4, b. Iowa Smith Dill E, age 2, b. Iowa I found Cyril in 1920 in North Dakota and the Census said he was age 42, b. Iowa so he should have been born about 1877. Have not found any of them in 1880 yet, could have moved from Iowa but I have checked other states and no luck. Still working on it, Karen
