Notes:
Castelia Cordelia is listed as a step-child; but it's unclear who's child she really is. She was born after records indicate Benjamin and Sarah were married. Perhaps she's a product from one of Benjamin's siblings and he and Sarah adopted her.
 
The 1870 Census has the family living in District 14, Washington, Tennessee. Jonesboro Post Office. Benjamin lists himself as a farmer, and Sarah as keeping house.
