Your research problem is an interesting one so I've been looking to find an entry for Bonaparte in the 1880 census. There is absolutely nothing for a Napoleon Waugh b abt 1857 in Virginia. But your mention of Boney made me do a search on variations on Boney and there is a curious entry in Gordon , Orange County, Virginia for a Bona Warr, age 23, white, b Virginia with a wife Betty age 19. There are no other Warr's in Orange County. This Bona is the right age and the surname may be phonetic misspelling. Just thought I'd mention it. Good luck with your search. Joanna
