Living in his mother Rosannah's household with Emeline, age 18 (sister?); Martha, age 6, Jinnetta, age 2, Lavanda, age 1 (said to be the children of Jacob, probably William's brother?); Eliza Jones, age 39 (William's sister), Andrew Templeton, age 9, Jerome S. Templeton, age 7, Angeline A. Jones, age 2 (Eliza's children. However, family info has her second marriage to be to a Smith, not a Jones). Next door is the household of Francis M. and Lamsey C. Colbourn and children, along with an Amanda C. Folkner, age 8. Perhaps Lamsey is another sister? Not sure who Amanda would belong to.
