'''Karen''': Also we noticed on the census records they had [[Bateman Haight Wilhelm|B.H.]], [[Grace Tippett Jose|Grace]] and their kids in Concho but I couldn't find [[Lydia Hannah Draper|Lydia]] anywhere in Concho. Did he maybe leave her in [[Utah]] when he first came down to [[Arizona]] and then her and her family come down later? | '''Karen''': Also we noticed on the census records they had [[Bateman Haight Wilhelm|B.H.]], [[Grace Tippett Jose|Grace]] and their kids in Concho but I couldn't find [[Lydia Hannah Draper|Lydia]] anywhere in Concho.

| - | '''Roy''': If anybody come down later it was [[Grace Tippett Jose|Grace]]... I don't know how they figured the census... Just the ones that lived in surveyed Concho. My folks never lived there. They lived on the ranch, the ranch that Candeleria has, it was their homestead and it was outside of a surveyed place and if they're doing census they don't go on the ranches around. So maybe that's how they got missed. (Ed. Note: Later research of census records of Utah in 1880 show Lydia and her kids and B.H. still in Utah in June of 1880. So apparently they did come down later than Grace's family. The autobiographies of [[Autobiography of Clarissa Wilhelm|Clarissa]] and [[Autobiography of Clarissa Isabell Wilhelm|Clara]] also state that Lydia and her family stayed behind in Utah for a time.) | + | '''Roy''': If anybody come down later it was [[Grace Tippett Jose|Grace]]...
