1880 Census:
I found Catherine (Matilda) and Washington (?I assume it is William) living with John in 1880. William is single and Catherin is widowed.
John Shimp, self, married, male, 43 years, NJ (birthplace), Farmer (occupation), NJ (father's birthplace), NJ (mother's birthplace)
Amanda Shimp, wife, married, 39, NJ, Keeping House, NJ, NJ
Washington Shimp, brother, single, 40, NJ, --, NJ, NJ
Catharin Shimp, mother, widowed, 67, NJ, --, NJ, NJ
You can see the entire household here.
More Research Needed: I need to straighten out Washington/William. Did he go by both names? Did he marry?
William's parents are Samuel Shimp and Matilda Catherine Shimp
