1880 U.S. Census (detail):

Notes: This transciption probably has errors. I need to check the original document. Mary and Adaline from 1870 would be 24 and 20 respectively. Martha J is Jennett from 1870, but she would be 15. Bell would be 17. Elmira and Anna are new additions since 1870. Fredric Roope is a nephew, son of Henry Roope and Margaret Wells.

Location: 11 District, Knox, Tennessee, USA
