I have a subscription to Genealogy.Com Census and looked it up for you. Their copy is pretty faded too. I was told the 1870 Census faded over the years because of a bad batch of ink they used. How true that is I don't know. All I know is that the pages that I have looked at from Ohio and other states are all faded for that year.
I did look the information up and printed copies for you. For online viewing, they blow it up so it's easier to read. This is what it says:
Page 815a:
Williamson, May - 73 - Keeping House - Ohio
", Jerome - 31 - Ohio (Pg. 815b)
Page 815b:
Williamson, Wilson - 35 - ? - Ohio
", Mary Jane - 25 - Ohio
", Ida May - 3 - Ohio
Page 816a:
Shoup, Henry - 35 - Works on Farm - Pennsylvania
", Mary- 37 - Keeping House -"
", William - 13 - Works on Farm - Ohio
", John- 10 -"""-"
", Benjamin - 7 -"""-"
", Elias(?) - 5 --"
", Grace - 2 --"
I also checked the 1850 and 1860 censuses and found Wilson's parents. I made copies of these also. If you want me to mail them you, email me your address and I'll get them out to you. Hope all this helps.
