There are several errors in this record; John's parents were not born in WV and they haven't been married 31 years. If it weren't for the children being the same children as the 1870 census, it would be doubtful if this is the correct John and Mary. Also, Maggie, the daughter, cannot be born in 1880 and be 91 years old.
