2. 1850 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #19 of 23): Peters Twp., Washington Co., PA, Roll 833, p. 52B, 139/139, enumerated 6 Sep 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

I have no explanation, beyond enumerator error, for the change of daughter Sarah in 1850 to son Leigh in 1860. And where is Laura?

4. 1870 Census Index/Images (online at Genealogy.com, Image #22 of 24): Sostine? P.O., Shawnee Twp., Cherokee Co., KS, Roll 430 (Book 1), p. 125B, PN 22, enumerated 27 Jul 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

This record is very difficult to explain without evoking at least some enumerator error. Leroy, William, and Calvin are William's children with his former wife, Isabella COULTER. But who is Laura? She was not with William in the 1860 census. Mary Jane married William some time after 1860 as Mary Jane RAWLS, so Frank and Mary would appear to be Mary Jane's children from her former marriage to Mr. RAWLS/ROLLS (who apparently was an Indian). Clara is said to be the daughter of William's son, Leroy (Lee Roy), so she should be surnamed PHILIPS — Martha, too, I presume. Clara's mother is supposed to have been an Indian.
