According to

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. |

the family farm with his parents and brothers in Taylorsville.
A sister, Harriett, had also been born since the last Census.

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. |

County Census shows that only Martha and her 7-year-old
grandson, Jacob Dagenhart, were living on the family farm. |

Taylorsville County Home that was managed by her daughter and
son-in-law, Lovie & Gus Carrigan. Gus's mother was living
in the home as well as Lovie's sister, Laura, and Laura's two
children by her marriage to Troy Hefner. There were also 7
"Inmates" living in the home. |
