3. 1870 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #4 of 27 — indexed "Swanb"): Richfield P.O., Monroe Twp., Juniata Co., PA, Roll M593_1353, p. 438B, PN 4, 28/32, enumerated 8 Aug 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Straub John 30 M W Black-Smith Pa

______ Sarah 31 F W Keeping house Pa

______ Chas 2 M W Pa

My first reaction is that Sarah is fibbing about her age in the 1880 census, but given that she has only one young child in 1870, I think it more likely that her age here is enumerator error, and that she's 21, not 31. Listed two households from Jacob J. STRAUB.
