His name does not appear with the family in the 1880 census. He would have been 21 years old and possible living on his own. I have not been able to locate him in the federal census or any other records. I have not performed an exhaustive search and I do not know if he had any descendants but the search continues. Possibly a family member will know what happen to him.
