Paul and Daniel appear to be Ursula's children from a former marriage. Or they may be children from a former marriage of his, but given Ursula's age, more likely they are hers.

Are Paul and Daniel Joseph's children from a prior marriage? Or are they Ursula's? Given Ursula's age, my bet is that they are her children from a prior marriage and that, being toddler and infant when Joseph married her, he adopted them. But where's Andrew? Listed two households from Joseph's first cousin and brother-in-law, Casper STROUP.
