This census shows Martha Henry with sons and daughters. Margaret
A.
Henry is supposed to have married in March of 1869 but listed here
as a
Henry. She seems to show up in the next record in the house of
William
Crouch
with Duncan as a last name.

Margaret A. Duncan is said to have been only been married about
a year
by this date so we're surprised that the husband, Wm. F. Duncan,
doesn't
show up here since they were to have married 7 March 1869 in
Johnson
Co.,
Indiana.
