  George's mother-in-law is living with them in 1880 and 1900.  Her namein 1900 is able to tell us that his wife is the daughter of ElijahHamrick and Emeline Webb.  But the wife is called Louisa J in the 1900census, whereas she was E J in 1880 and is called Narcissus with thenickname "Elia Jane" (matching the 1880 census) by the HamrickGenealogy.
