Re: Ephraim Eakley b. 1809 in NJ

I am researching the name Bastedo/Bostedo in Morris County. On the 1860 and 1870 census I have found a Leroy Eakley living with Ezra Bostedo, his wife Martha Shawger Bostedo and their family. In 1860 he is shown as being 7 and in 1870 he is shown as 16 which would place his birth as about 1853 or 1854. There are no Eakleys nearby in 1850, 1860 or 1870. Can anyone suggest why this seven yo was living with the Bostedos. I have accounted for all the daughters except Hannah who was 17 in 1850 which would have made her old enough to be Leroy's mother. Did she marry an Eakley and then something happened to the couple and Ezra and Martha were left to raise Leroy?
