Charles Gilstrap-male (no other information about him was recorded-could be a brother/father to Edward)
On all of the census records Bertha is listed as white and not Indian.
I found Edward and his parents in Nebraska on the 1880-the same ones which Jonathan posted for you.
Looks like your families lived in Nebraska but went to Missouri to have their children.
Here's a tree I found:
