[I believe this census may refer to to Edwin. Did he and Phebe remarry at some point? If not, did they at least resume cohabitation? The census for 1880 below would certainly indicate this. Pretty confusing, I'd say! T.N.]

[An interesting note regarding this census: the actual document clearly states that both Edwin and his second wife "Annie" had been married for 25 years as of the date of enumeration - ie. since Sept.25,1875 per the above marriage record. However, in the earlier census from 1880, his wife is shown as "Phebe" who was his first spouse. Could he have possibly been maintaining two households at the same time? T.N.]
