This is the best fit I could make with the children. It's hard to say whether we have their ages wrong or the enumerator tallied them wrong, but there can be no doubt this is our subject.

5. 1850 U.S. Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #45 of 46): Monroe Twp. (Dist. No. 220), Clermont Co., OH, Roll, p. 23A,332/332, enumerated 24 Oct 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

There is one other widm*r in Clermont County, whom I take to be our subject's married son: Andrew J. WIDMEYER (æ 26, b. OH), Williamsburg Twp., Clemont Co., OH (p. 325B).

If you are 79 years old in 1912, you were born in 1832 or 33, not 1834.
A quick peak at the 1900 census shows Joseph giving his birth as Jan 1834.
