    The 1880 Union County, SC census shows Thomas (76) and Martha (60) living in Gowdeysville Township (located north of Jonesville off highway 18). The information identifies Martha's birthplace as NC and the children; Gilman (18), Lucy A.(16), W. Jackson (14), Ellen (Etta) (12), Martha F. (10) all born in SC. Three boarders are living with Thomas and Martha in this census; Theodore Smart (22), Adolphis Fowler (23), and ? (21) all male with the same occupation that appears to be "ditcher"
