[Notwithstanding his age, which was even more prone to enumerator error as to non-relatives living in a household, this would appear to be Greenbury and family after the death of Minerva, who presumably died giving birth just a few months before the census.]

Greenbury married Minerva STRONG, daughter of Hiram STRONG and Rebecca SCRIVNER. (Minerva STRONG was born about 1851 in Missouri,^{3 5} died in 1880 in Moniteau County, Missouri ^{2 4} and was buried in Green Grove Cemetery, Moniteau County, Missouri ².)
