You're quite welcome, Sue. Let me know if this turns out to be your guy. It's certainly possible that he WAS missed. I've found a LOT of families are missing in the 1870 census that should have been there. It was the first census following reconstruction (in fact, various forms of reconstruction were still going on in some parts of the state). I believe many people were very suspicious of anyone representing the Federal Government coming around asking questions. I suspect many of the census enumerators were met with shotguns and ordered off the property or they simply found "no one at home."
