1870 US Census - William Patrick Emery, John F Emery, Jason Rust Emery, Elizabeth (Emery) Butler, David W Emery, Catherine (Emery) Kelly, Henry & Hannah Emery

Here is the 1870 US Census for the remaining children of Olive (Jacobs) and Henry Emery:

William Patrick Emery, John F Emery, Jason Rust Emery, and Elizabeth (Emery) Butler all living in Highland township, Wapello county, Iowa.

William Patrick Emery was living with wife Margaret and their children, Henry, Mary and Frank.    John F Emery was living next door with wife Phebe and their children Ida and Lottie.    Next to John was sister Elizabeth Butler living with her husband Abia and their children, Ella, Alice Eva and Frank.  Jason Rust Emery apparently was nicknamed "Doc" and was living two houses away from Elizabeth.

I had posted the census for their brother, David W Emery, my great great great grandfather last year as well as my great great great great grandfather Henry Emery and his second wife, Hannah (Gaffney).   I did not know it at the time but Henry and Hannah were living next door to Henry's youngest daughter, Catherine Kelly and her husband William.

1870 US Census - Sarah Anne (Emery) Ferman

Here is the 1870 US Census for Olive (Jacobs) and Henry Emery's daughter, Sarah Anne Ferman.

Sarah and husband Frank were living in Clover, Henry county, Illinois with their children Geo (George) and William.

1870 US Census - Mary (Emery) Butler

Here is the 1870 US Census for Mary Butler, the eldest child of Olive (Jacobs) and Henry Emery.

Mary was living in Galva, Henry county, Illinois with husband Jonas, daughter Sarah and continued on the next page of the census (below), son George and Ed.

1870 US Census - James H Emery

Here is the 1870 US Census for James H Emery, son of Olive (Jacobs) and Henry Emery.

James was employed as a physician and living in Blandinville, McDonough county, Illinois with his wife Rhoda and their children Olin and Ivo*.

'Ivo' passed away prior to the 1880 US Census.

1870 US Census - Amelia (Emery) Standard

Here is the 1870 US Census for Amelia Standard, the second child born to Olive (Jacobs) and Henry Emery.





































Amelia's second husband, Lyman Standard had passed away February 5, 1865.   Amelia was living in West Jersey township, Stark County, Illinois with her children, Margaret, Lyman, Thomas, Jennie and Alva who was continued on the following page.

1870 US Census - Henry Emery

Here is the 1870 US Census for my great great great great grandfather Henry Emery still living in the township of Weller, Henry County, Illinois.   Henry was living with his second wife, Hannah (Gaffney) along with someone named Laura, who appears to be 3 years old.  It's not likely Laura was born to Henry and Hannah so I would guess she is probably a niece or granddaughter.

























Update: February 10, 2011

Should have corrected this October 20, 2010 because I had located the 1880 US Census for Hannah, which explained that Laura was her granddaughter.

1870 US Census - David W Emery

Here is the 1870 US Census for my great great great grandparents, Sarah (Dwyer or Dwire) and David W Emery.   In 1870 they were living in Ottumwa, Iowa with their children, Charles, Alice, Willie, Freddie (my great great grandfather), Bert and Eugene (listed as Clyde on subsequent census records).








































This census seems to have fewer inaccuracies than the 1880 Census posted yesterday, which stated most of the children were born in Iowa.    The family did not move to Iowa until sometime after 1867.
