By 1875, the family had moved to Hardyston, Sussex, New Jersey,[10] and in seven censuses from 1880-1910 they were located in Vernon, Sussex, New Jersey, during which period he was working as a carpenter.[11][12][6][13] In 1900, the couple was living with their widowed daughter Sarah Morgan and her two daughters, while in 1905, they had only the two granddaughters with them.[14][15] In 1910, the couple was on its own.
