By 1874 they were living in Chase Co., Kansas. This is documented by the confirmation of their daughter, Eliza on 3 April 1874 in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas.
In the 1880 census they are living next door to their son-in-law Ben Brown in Sunshine, Boulder Co., Colorado with their youngest son Frank age 16.

They returned to Chase County, Kansas sometime in 1881.
