1881 census data lists four dependents still living at home with Garret and Phebe VW. These are Henry, 29 yr; William W., 25
yrs; Lafayette, 24 yrs; and Victoria, 10 yrs. The birth year for Lafayette was modified due to this information. Previously I had
Lafayette b. about 1854 and thus the older brother of William. The 1881 census data makes Lafayette younger than William.
