According to the 1860 Catawba County Census, Martha is still single and living at home with her parents and other siblings.  She was 15 years old at the time.  The absence of Caroline from this Census suggests that she has died since the last Census.

Martha's sister & brother-in-law, Lucinda and Jack Christopher, are listed on the 1880 Catawba County Census as having five children.  There youngest daughter was named Marthy - more than likely in tribute to Harriet's sister.

In 1870, Rufus is still living on the family farm.  His age is listed as 23.  His mother had apparently died, because his father had married Malinda who was 20 years younger than him.  Only three of the children still lived at home - Rufus, Boone and Harriett.  The family also had a 20-year-old white female domestic servant names Susan Fincannon living with the family.  The Census also states that neither Rufus nor his father would read or write.

1900 is the earliest Census I've found for Rufus and Martha Goble Dagenhart.  They were living in the Taylorsville Township of Alexander County.  The Census states that Martha was born in 1845 and that she had been married for 25 years.  There were two of their daughters still living with them - Laura and Maggie.  The Census says that Laura had been married for 3 years, but there is no explanation of why she was living in the family home or where her husband was.  The Census does show her last name as Dagenhart - and not Hefner - so this must be a mistake.  Martha's mother, Evie Goble age 80, and spinster sister, Delilah age 55, were also living with Rufus and Martha.
