Could he have gone by the name Nathan Foster?In 1850 Federal census there is a Nathan Foster 47 in Green Township, Adams Co. Ohio with wife Rhoda 45 - both b. OH with a number of Fosters (probably their children) ranging in age from 3 to 22.They are in the same town in 1860 with 6 younger Fosters (again, probably their children) ages 7-24.
In 1870 it's just Nathan with Henry 24, Emma 19, and a Rhoda McDermott 17 (likely the same person listed as Rhoda Foster 7 in 1860).
In 1880, Nathan is living with son Henry 34 who is now married and has children. He is still in Green Township, so if this is the right family, that might be the best place to search for additional information.
