      It is assumed that 'Mary Jobison' is Mary Jeppesen for the following reasons: 1) the similarity of the last names, e.g. in Jens Jeppeson's patriarchal blessing in 1875 Jeppeson is spelled Jeppison, 2) Jens died in 1879, so Mary would be a widow by the time this census was taken, and 3) daughters Sophia and Mary were 16 and 13 years of age in 1880.
