I've found it from another census source, Heritage Quest, and since it has more info placed it first. James Oliver Pottorf also saw the census taker in 1900 on June 22, line 85, Sheet No. 16, in the same county. This entry lists him with his wife Minnie and young daughter and may be a better clue. J. Oliver Pottorf's father and maybe his mother were deaf so sometimes information was incorrectly stated on the censuses. Henry, younger brother of my direct ancestor, was born in Ohio, so the information on the census as to where Henry and his parents were born is incorrect.
