The census shows an unoccupied dwelling between the entry for Peter Freeland and Jacob Shoffner but does not show a dwelling or family number for Jacob Shoffner. It is difficult to determine if Jacob Shoffner is part of Peter Freeland's household or should be a separate household.
The death certificate for Jacob and Susanna Shoffner's daughter Hannah gives her mother's maiden name as Susanna Rhodes. The death certificate for their son George B. Shoffner also gives his mother's maiden name as Susanna "Rhoades." Although Susanna's maiden name was originally thought to be Freedline/Friedline based on the 1860 census, it is Rhodes based on the two death certificates for her children that list her maiden name as Rhodes.
