Note:  Elias Eller was a grandson of Henry & Elizabeth Bigler ELLER (a son of Jacob Eller, Sr. and Eva Margaret Williard) and brother to my 3rd greatgrandfather, Jacob Eller, Jr.  By 1870, Elias' wife, Mary Standiford had been dead about 6-7 years.  Mary, age 24 in above census, was Mary Ellen Burt--wife of Abraham (or Abram) Eller.  William, age 8, as well as Franklin, 5, and Lillian, 1, were their children.

This is Elizabeth Grimes Eller, widow of Jacob Eller, Jr. who died in December 1867.  This family never seems to have given the censustaker their correct ages from one census to another.  My supposition is that they really had no idea when they were born, had trouble with math or didn't want the government to have the correct information.  Elizabeth (the mother) is actually about 60 years old according to other records; John T. about 28-29; Ann Maria, about 42-43; Martha, about 38 and Elizabeth (the daughter) about 26.  Elizabeth Grimes actually was born in Maryland (not Missouri as recorded in Census).
