Peter Shimp and Josephine

Peter Shimp, 1840, and Josephine

1880 Census:
Peter Shimp, 1840, NJ (birthplace), 40 years, married, Self, NJ fathers birthplace, NJ mothers birthplace -- entry # 192
Josephene Shimp, 1850, NJ, 30 years, NJ, NJ -- entry # 493
Martha Shimp, 1872, NJ, 8 years, NJ, NJ, daughter -- entry #494
Richard M Shimp, 1879, NJ, 9 months, NJ -- entry #495
[There may be others listed--i haven't looked too closely]

1900 Census:
Peter Shimp, May 1860 (birth date is 1840 but I can see how someone would think 1860 when reading the census), NJ, self, NJ father birth, NJ mother birt, married 29 years, marriage 1871
Josephine Shimp, Nov 1850, NJ, wife, NJ, NJ, married 29 years, mother to 1 child, 1 child living
Richard R Shimp, Aug 1879, NJ, single
Harry Hill, Mar 1875
Anna M Padgett, Mar 1879 (saw anna on 1880 census with parents - I dont know if she is a relative or not)
[I am a little confused by the mother to 1 child and 1 child living. I have not been able to view the 1860 census other than what has been indexed by others. Seeing a photo of the actual document may help clear up some confusion.]

1920 Census:
Richard Shimp, 1879, 41 years, self, married
Maud Shimp, 1880, 40 years, wife, married,
Josephine Shimp, 1851, 69 years, widowed

Peter's parents are Sheppard Shimp and Sarah.
