neither peter, sarah, nor charles show up in the 1880 census for fountain county. you
found them on the 1860 census in troy township in fountain county. that was around the
year that charles was born according to charles's marriage record to mary mcclurg.
charles and mary were married in 1887 in fountain county.
so it's looking like the family moved out of state and for some reason charles came
back. a possibility would be that his parents died and he returned to living family in the
fountain county area. i went thru all of fountain county cemetery records and neither
peter or sarah are showing up.
this is all speculation, of course. but it's making sense.......
