Going through each census year 1860-1900 (1890 is unavailable) I found;
Mahala 1856-1930
Sarah Jane 1859-1936
Burton 1865-1935
Adam 1869-1935
Hiram b. 1874-My g. grandpa who was last shown in 1930 Toledo Ohio
Lee 1878-1955
Bannie 1870-1941
(Those were the 7 still living in 1900)
These 4 are the ones records end so I am guessing they are the ones who passed before 1900;
Louisa b. 1865-records end
Lavania-son born 1872-records end
Sally J. b. 1863 records end
Tauma (is how it is spelled in census) female born 1864-records end
