I have looked through the entire Jumping Branch census in 1880 for my great grandparents Joseph Robert Deeds b. 1855 and Mary Elizabeth Meador Deeds. He is listed in My Division, Mercer Co. in the 1860 census and Jumping Branch, Mercer Co. 1870 Census. Mary's family lives next door to Joseph's parents in the 1870 census. They were married in 1878 in Summers Co.

Joseph is listed as a widower in District 129, Jumping Branch, Summers Co., in 1900. Mary died in childbirth January of 1900. I am almost positive that they should be in the 1880 census but haven't been able to locate them anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas to help with location in the 1880 census?
