Are you sure the name was Matthew Hosea? I searched all variations and did not find him. Could he have used another first name? I see he was born in Texas and found Hosea families in Texas, Colorado, and Montana, but no Matthew. Do you have this bit of information? 1900 Federal Census, Lower Dolores, Montezuma County, Co., 27 Jun 1900 William Ordway, Head, DOB: Mar 1849, Age 51, Married 11 years, POB: Maine, Parents' POB: Maine, Occupation: Merchant Minnie, Wife, DOB: Jul 1856, Age 43, Married 11 years, POB: Germany; PPOB: Germany Minnie Scharnhorst, Stepdaughter, DOB: Oct 1892, Age 17, Single, POB: CO; Parents' POB: Germany Augusta Hosea, Stepdaughter, DOB: Aug 1873, Age 26, Married 4 years, 0 children born, 0 children living, POB: CO; Parents' POB: Germany; Occupation: Postmaster 1910 Federal Census, Lower Dolores, Montezuma County, CO, William F.
