Pvt Albert Goodwin

Per 1870 US census (attached as media, Albert 61, wife Sally 59 of NY and son Edgar 7 of Ill are in Durand Winnebago Illinois. The ages are clear and Alberts at 61=1809 is much older than Find-A-Graves's birth of 1833. But with Sally 57 and the boy 7 this is her grandson, not her son. Further the census's "Albert" is probably Sally's husband Levi since the death of Albert is well documented as 1865.... Ahhh... confusing records!
