1870 census for Quincy, Houghton, Michigan [1]

Fox John, 70, M, W, At Home, Ireland
-----Ellen, 55, F, W, Keeping House, Ireland
-----Thomas, 32, M. W, Miner, Ireland

That Cornelius and Thomas would be listed next to each other in the 1870 census in Michigan and in the 1880 census in Missouri ten years later deserves a little pondering [2].
