census of 1870 Boone co., MO census with this family but were not listed
with this family in the 1880 census. Who were these girls? Ann, aged
10, was most likely a relative from either the Woods side of the family
or from one of Congrave's relatives. Suantha (?) was most likely the
first child born to Congrave and Mattie and she probably died young.

according to an article written in the Higbee News on 19 Dec 1919.
