Hi,

Suggest you try locating him in 1870 first - he may not have been free in 1860.

Given the record in 1880 -with his age listed as 47, Susan is not his first wife, since at age 28 she is too young to have been the mother of an 18 year old daughter Ida.

Suggest you re-post to main forum, or to Getting Started Forum, where you will get more assistance finding them.
