    • The 1870 census enumerates Bennett as Bennett Osborn. The family matches, but appears to have been provided by someone outside the family due to the variations.

      Notable variations include rough ages, a son William who is really a daughter Willie, Neliar instead of Ella, and an extra 1 year old son, John. This son, John, does not appear in other censuses.

      Robert, born in July 1870, is not listed since the census date is earlier in the year.

      All of this implies that the Almands moved to Arkansas no earlier than then fall of 1870.
