NOTE - This seems to be multiple families living together with only Herny J. Ernsberger and his wife, Mary Jane Balliet known for sure as occupants. The family name of Ernsberger had multiple spellings probably dependent upon how thick the Germanic accent was and how the census enumerator interpreted the speech.

The newborn infant daughter, N. R. Arnsparger, must be a child of Henry and Mary but her name is not known nor does she appear in any other records. The parents had been married for about one and one-half years at the time of the census but the daughters age was reported as "0" which means she could have been born in 1860 or anytime in the last half of 1859.

John Barr and Sophiah Nelson are both of an unknown relationship.

Likewise, the identity of A. Arnsparger cannot be known with any certainty but I suspect that he might be Henry's younger brother, Luther A. Ernsberger who was using his middle initial only at the time.
