I've no explanation as to why James is listed last or why he is shown age 28, instead of 18, except gross enumerator error.

Our subject's orphaned daughter, Nora, is living with her aunt, Clarinda (ARMSTRONG) FRANCIS. Nora has managed to get enumerated a second time with another aunt, Sarah (ARMSTRONG) THOMAS (see next Source).

6b. 1880 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #27 of 35): Marion (Wards 2 and 3), Marion Co., OH, Roll T9_1046, p. 214C, PN 27, SD 5, ED 100, 273/280, enumerated 16 Jun 1880, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1880 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

The fact that Sarah (ARMSTRONG) THOMAS, daughter of Joshua & Phoebe (STERNS) ARMSTRONG, calls our subject's orphaned daughter, "niece," supports that our subject is a son of Joshua & Phoebe, despite his odd placement in the 1850 census. (The enumerator here got the birthplaces for Sarah and Phoebe backwards: Sarah was born in OH and Phoebe was born in MA.)

Elizabeth's stone must have been mis-read because she was born in 1839.
