1 1870 US Census (Township 62, Range 13 [Paulville], Adair County, Missouri). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists William F. Eagle (age 49, b. OH), wife Maria A. (age 43, b. OH) and children Drusilla (age 21, b. OH), Thomas I. (age 19, b. OH), Mameria E. (age 17, b. OH), Stuart N. (age 15, b. OH), Effie (age 13, b. MO), William F. (age 11, b. MO), Mary M. (age 9, b. MO), Samuel E. (age 7, b. MO) and Judson H. (age 5, b. MO), living in Paulville, Missouri. William Sr. is listed as a "farmer." Living next door is Mary Eagle (age 38, b. OH), living in the household of Charlotte C. Ridge (age 34, b. OH) and her family. Mary and Charlotte are likely sisters of William Sr. The record appears to indicate that the family moved from Ohio to Missouri around 1855.

2 1860 US Census (Salt River, Adair County, Missouri). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists William F. Eagle (age 40, b. OH), Mariah (age 33, b. OH) and children Drucilla (age 11, b. OH), Thomas (age 9, b. OH), Minerva (age 7, b. OH), Stewart (age 6, b. OH), Eva (age 3, b. MO) and William (age 1, b. MO), living in Salt River, Missouri. William Sr. is listed as a "farmer."

3 1880 US Census (District 143, Salt River, Adair County, Missouri). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists William F. Eagle (age 60, b. OH), wife Mariah A. (age 52, b. OH) and children Minerva E. (age 26, b. OH), William H. (age 20, b. MO), Mary M. (age 18, b. MO), Samuel E. (age 16, b. MO), Judson H. (age 14, b. OH) and Frona R. (age 7, b. MO), living in Salt River, Missouri. William and Mariah's children are erroneously listed as William's siblings, but their year of birth and the place of birth of their parents confirms that they are, indeed, their children. Also in the household is William's nephew, William L. Ridge (age 22, b. MO), who "works on farm." William Eagle is listed as "farming" and indicates that his father was born in Pennsylvania and his mother in Maryland [this differs from his sister's info, which lists their father born in Virginia]. Mariah indicates that both her parents were born in Pennsylvania. Living next door is William Eagle's widowed sister, Charlotte Ridge [mother of William L. Ridge], and her family.

Also in the household is "daughter in law" Alma Eagle (age 19, b. Apr 1881, MO), but it is unclear whose wife she is. William is listed as "farming" and indicates that his father was born in Virginia and his mother in Maryland. Mariah indicates that both her parents were born in Pennsylvania. William H. is listed as a "stock dealer." Samuel is listed as a "farm laborer." Alma's parents are both listed as born in Missouri. The couple indicate that they have been married for 53 years, and have had 11 children, 9 of whom are still living.
