The 1900 census records that Samuel immigrated in 1867 and that he had been in the US for 52 years. (couldn't census takers do simple math?) If he had been here for 52 years (at the time of the 1900 census), he immigrated in 1848. If he immigrated in 1867, he had been in the US for 33 years. 1870 Census, Huntington, Suffolk, New York (Samuel is a cabinet maker) 1880 Census, District 16, Hiawatha, Brown, Kansas 1900 Census, Garfield, Jackson, Kansas. Samuel was b. Nov 1831 in Ireland. 1910 Census, Samuel is living as a widow with his son, Robert G. Ried. Samuel's wife's name was Mary; it is believed this was Mary McDivitt, b. Aug 1836 "At Sea from Ireland" She died before the 1910 census in Kansas. Samuel and Mary had five children (birth years): Robert G. (1861), George L. (1864), Mary Eliza (1866), Sarah G.
