Although much of the data is different (dobs are the same).....there is an older Weeden female living in the household born in VA (Virginia) so its a good possible for the 1870 census

1870 KY, Jefferson Co, Harrods Creek
Weden, Wash. 30 bn KY...black
, Fannie 22 bn KY...mulato
, A. 2 bn KY (female) ....mulato
, Cinthia 70 bn VA...black

Ordering a copy of his Civil War Pension may add some new clues....worth a try.

Good luck
