Thanks for the quick reply! I guess their wherabouts for the 1870 census will remain a mystery, although I feel almost certain that he was there somewhere!

A possibility would be just across the county line in a surrounding county. However I have a family living at Waldo who was missed on the 1870 and 1880 census in Coryell County, so it did happen.
