In the 1870 census of Granville, Washington County, New York, is listed David Oatman, age 27, a farm laborer; Emma Oatman, 26; "Rosa" Oatman, 2; Georgiana Smith, 7; and Phoebe Smith, 63. This is probably David, but the relationship of Georgiana and Phoebe Smith is unknown. "Rosa" is likely a daughter. Mary Lodica is not named.
