The place and neighbors are correct compred to other censuses. We are guessing that a neighbor tried to fill in the information for the census taker and got the details wrong.
================
1870 Olive Township, Lawrence Co, IL census records:
This is a very strange census record and it is not clear what to make of it. This seems to be true for many census records in 1870 where either the family is missing, or has inaccurate information written about it. It appears as if the census taker did not go to the house but got information from neighbors. It seems likely that this is the correct Henry, partly due to the fact that the neighbors are the same as in the 1860 census records, but it cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
