  Don't be sorry, I appreciate that you tried.  Yes I do know about the
  bad image.  I looked at the film down at the Archives and it is
  terrible.  Actually, some of the worst films I have looked at have been
  in Oregon.  I think perhaps the dampness ruined a lot of the census
  books because they were just on regular paper back then and the census
  counters went from house to house and I have heard that it rains a lot
  in Oregon :)
  Jasper Deford is Samuel Deford's only son.  His wife Lydia is the sister
  to William Hoskins who married Jane Deford the 7 year old in that
  census.  The Ann was actually Lucintha's daughter by her first marriage.
  I have done a lot of research on this family but still keep trying to
  find them in the 1870.  I did get a clue when I got Jane Deford's death
  certificate.  They have her father's name as Samuel D. Ford.  I think
  that is because her husband at the time never knew him and when you say
  the name Deford it might sound like D. Ford.  So I haven't looked for
  Ford yet, that is my next quest.
  Thanks again,
  Dale

  Okay; I went to Heritage Quest image of Samuel Deford;

  Series: M653  Roll: 1055  Page: 370
  Surname  GivenName  Age  Sex  Race  Birthplace  State  County  Location
  Year
  DEFORD  SAMUEL      46    M     W    OH         OR      LINN     LEBANON
  P O
  1860

  What they have is virtually indecipherable, but right away I note there
  are
  no entries in the ocupation  column except Farmer for Samuel, it looks
  like
  spouse is Jane age 47, he being 46, first child might be age 18, second
  maybe 14 and last about 7? I think the oldest is Amy or Ann, but no clue
  the
  other two, I know you have this info elsewhere, but that is how bad this
  image is, I would be curious to see what it looks like on the local
  library
  microfilm roll, if it is this bad, my experience in the past has been if
  Heritage has a bad image so does my library.

  trying to track these folks in 1870 real pain, tried samuel of his age
  group
  b. ohio and none even close to your guy, tried tracking a couple of his
  neighbors from 1860 and find them in Scio precinct. scrolling throught
  that
  stumbled across a Wisner that may be one of my kin, but don't know who
  he
  is.

  on the same page with him;
  Series: M593  Roll: 1286  Page: 619

  is a Jasper Deford age 21 b Iowa and Lydia (spouse/sister??) age 23 also
  b.
  Iowa.

  His is in fact the only Deford that Heritage Quest lists in the 1870 OR
  Census, I scrolled all the way through Scio Precinct and Lebanon with no
  luck, I think they were just missed in 1870.

  and for 1880;

  Name  Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation
  Father's
  Birthplace Mother's Birthplace
   George W. DEFORD   Self   M   Male   W   41   IN   Farmer   ---   ---
   Carrie V. DEFORD   Wife   M   Female   W   34   IN   Keeping House   NJ

   Lucy DEFORD   Dau   S   Female   W   1   OR   At Home   IN   IN
   Frances M. YORK   Other   S   Male   W   26   IL   Teacher   ---   ---



  is this the same Jane Deford?

  Case#
  Name  Deford, Jane & Hoskins, William
  Date  12-31-1867
  Record Type  Marriage
  County  Linn
  Source  Genealogical

  Sorry I couldn't be more help.
