Living next door is William McClellan and his wife Sally, Sally is surely the mother of Robert. Here the enumerator tells us Robert’s father was born in OH. In 1880 we find Robert in the family of Charles Stockman, from Ohio who is living in Precinct 4, Lavaca county, Texas, enumerated on Page 448C

This census tells us that Robert’s father was born in Ohio ca 1855 and his father was born in Prussia. A Look at the 1860 census of Ohio offers confusing information. The only Charles Stockman who was born circa 1855 has a father born in Maryland. Further Research is needed to determine the early ancestry of Robert Jesse Stockman who registered in the draft in World War I in Texas.-//-
