By 1870, the family was still living in Williamsburgh, in the 15th Ward. Isaiah, still working as a cooper, had amassed a personal estate of $700.[1] Isaiah was listed as 46 years old and Mary as 38 years old, both of which do not align to a 10 year increase in their ages in the 1860 Census (as a result, both censuses only give a general ballpark for their age and derived year of birth). Emma and Isaiah were no longer in the home, as both either reach their majority and moved out, or were then deceased.[2] However, there were still children in the house. Son Eugene was listed as age 12; however, since he was not in the 1860 Census, Mary was most likely pregnant with him in 1860, and his age on the 1870 Census is off by 1-2 years. He was born in New York and attended school. Daughter Mary was listed as age 11, and in her case, her age is most likely overstated by 1-2 years. She was also born in New York and attended school. Georgiana, age 9 (also overstated by 1-2 years), was born in New York and attended school. Harriet, age 7 (also likely overstated by 1-2 years), was born in New York, attended school, but could not read or write English. The youngest, Alfred, was age 2 and born in New York.[3]
