He honorably discharged at term's end February 10, 1867, at Fort Reno, Dakota Territory. Somewhere in there he also served with the 27th U.S. Infantry, likely due to a reorganization of forces.

He married Mary Abigail Shade and fathered Anna M. (b. 05/08/74 - married Harry Milford Orner). Cause of his death is listed as "cardiac exhaustion" with "paralysis" a contributing factor. His death certificate claims an 1835 birth year.<p>.

Thirty-eight states were included in the 1880 census, plus the territories of: Arizona, Dakota, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Non-organized Alaska was also enumerated, but the "Indian Territory" (now Oklahoma) was not enumerated for non-Indians.Federal census takers were asked to record information about every person who was in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date,but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. The basic census enumeration unit was the county. Each county was divided into enumeration districts, one for each enumerator. The completed forms were sent to the Commerce Department's Census Office in Washington, D.C.Federal censuses are usually reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator.
