Census
1870 census of Floyd Co., Virginia, Jacksonville township, enumerated x, lists on p. 47 as family #349/333:
Howell, Daniel, 52; Ruth, 46; Miranda Jane, 24; Josiah, 6; Thompson, Amos, 17; Hughett, Robert, 12; Howell, Oma (female), 59. All born in Virginia.
This census does not show relationships or marital status. Ordinarily the large age gap would make me think that Josiah was more likely to be a son of Miranda than of Daniel and Ruth. But Ruth is living with Josiah (listed as Joseph) in the 1900 census, and she is identified there as his mother.
