They lived in Canton for eight years, where Robert farmed their land. They had three children while living there.
In 1866, they relocated to Richland Township, Morgan County, Missouri. There they had two more children, one a son who died early in life.
Sometime after 1892, their home and all of their belongings burned to the ground and they were left with what they wore and some livestock.
